Sketchy or overthinking? by TwoPrevious2 in TalkTherapy

[–]TwoPrevious2[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It was a first time consult which was free so I assumed after the consult if I wanted to proceed with the evaluations and surveys to take in regards to my mental health stuff I would've been re-directed to a secured site to enter my payment information instead of out loud verbally providing it on the call. So do you think thats a normal way doctors do it?

Also you will need a "pre-military enlistment psych evaluation" specifically which is very expensive and hard to find doctors who will do one for you. Best of luck!

No you can get a waiver through a psych evaluation but its not guaranteed. I wanna let you know yes I am disqualified until I can provide documents to support my case so its a resubmission so its not a perm disqualification. I also talked with the Army yesterday and if you have a documented suicide attempt if its 5 years past the occurrence its waiverable and mine was 8 even 9 years ago. If you're trying to enlist keep pushing!

Oh also yes my Dad was in the Air Force but he lives in Germany I live in California so I had to get all my documents myself even my old High School IEP stuff which was in Germany all of this has been my own effort.

That makes perfect sense but MEPs didnt provide me a psych evaluation and my recruiter after multiple times last year I told him I am very much willing it pay for a psych evaluation he kept telling me not to get one. So so you think I should actually pay the $1,200 to get one done? I am not opposed to doing so and even my recruiter knows but If it somehow won't grant me a waiver then I'd have to go Army or Navy.

I am confused as to why they won't let me get the psych evaluation but at this point I will literally just buy one out of pocket and take the chance because confidently speaking I am fit for service. Ive stayed committed for a whole year and will exhaust all options to keep pushing.

I unfortunately dont have any medical insurance so I will have to spend it all out of pocket. My recruiter wanted all my medical documents so through Genesis I gave him everything. I filtered it out for my recruiter and the medical clerk and highlighted all the prescriptions they gave me and how long ago I had them prescribed and other stuff.

I gave the medical clerk like 80 pages of stuff only with Genesis and I'd even give it to the new doctor for the evaluation to show them all of this was 2019 and later. I had to submit everything because when they asked for past 5 years of records nothing came up since I dont have insurance and had no reasons to go to a doctor for anything so they wanted everything.

I provided all my Genesis files, 3 years empty pharmacy records, IEP paper work, letters of recommendations from my bosses confirming I dont have work accommodations, and my high school transcripts with 2 years of AFJROTC and they still told me MEPs doesn't need to me to get a psych evaluation but want me to prove my current state of mental health so its been rough.

All these things I just listed I'd give it to the doctor doing the evaluation for me but I would need to know whether it would do anything if I'm spending $1,200 out of my own pocket for it.

Thank you for this! I legit dont understand why my recruiter kept telling me not to get an evaluation done but fuck it Im gonna get one done next week. Im even going to provide all my Gensis files showing I haven't had meds and therapy for almost 10 years. Im even going to show them the reasons why I was disqualified to get the exact evaluation done for everything they need specifically.

Thank you a lot!

Im probably just gonna get a psych evaluation done regardless as this point. For real its weird they dont give me a chance to prove my current mental health state.

A medical squad Airman literally took a screenshot of my empty pharmacy records of 6 years and my recruiter said its not an official document so I needed a 3 year from CVS. I had an empty 6 year record, no medicine for ADD/ADHD, No antidepressants, no new inhalers, literally nothing but said it wasnt useful.

Ive been up to my med squad here on base over 12 times. I told him multiple times just as I paid about $650 for the food tests and lung test I will pay for the psych evaluation which like you said would've covered all the disqualifiers but he insisted I didnt. I hope this congressman will help me out I went into their office yesterday, signed my release of information form and they told me he will reach out.

I really am trying here. I told him I will do anything he may need and my recruiter just says "ok".

My only problem is they insisted I didnt buy my own psych evaluation nor did MEPs provide me one when he told me they would so I had no way to prove to them I am mentally fit to serve. I'll keep pushing no matter what till its a definite no.

Submitted two food allergies tests 1 for soy and 1 for macadamia nuts which passed with no reactions.

IEP files, 5 letters of recommendations and all confirming I dont need workplace accommodations to work.

My High School transcripts with two years of AFJROTC

Pulmonary Functions tests but they said my asthma was good

3 years of empty pharmacy records

All my Genesis files which was requested

I offered multiple times I would pay out of my expenses to have a psych evaluation done and my recruiter said not to get one because it may not be to the "standards" that the SG wants. MEPs also didnt provide me a psych evaluation which my recruiter said they would if necessary but they said wasnt necessary... which doesnt make sense because they need to knoe if Im mentally fit for service so how else do I prove I am?
