Hello everyone,
I’m looking for a little bit of guidance or maybe insight on my current situation.
I went to mental health on base about 3 weeks ago and was referred to the clinic where I had my first appt today. Sir said it seems I show symptoms supporting a Bipolar II disorder along with anxiety and in 2 weeks at my next appointment I will be going through the whole “interview” to see if I meet the criteria and if I do I’ll be Med Boarded. This is my first time going to MH and I get out this July with terminal/August without. I was seen for a TBI in 2020 for increased irritability/anxiety/insomnia but that was stopped after 3 months when I got PCS orders.
My question is more along the lines of what should I expect in terms of the Med board if I do meet the criteria and whether it would put me in a Med hold status. I would assume that because I’ve been able to go almost 4 years without my work being affected maybe I won’t be deemed unfit for duty? But I also know out of work I’ve struggled with my mental health especially since the last concussion+PCSing
Any help will be appreciated, TIA
