So I know this guy, I told him this was normal for the most part and easily explainable. It’s good it’s on his radar, I’m sure there’s a fairly high percentage of dudes that have been through this. It could come up in a security clearance interview. There was a topic on meds, but this kid was never on meds. What do the masses think? I used the f’ing search function, mostly. ———————————————— When I was very young one of my parents passed away in an accident. My other parent wanted me to see a counselor/psychiatrist about it. I ended up having a pretty good relationship with the psychiatrist and met with him regularly from a young age through most of highschool. I wasn't being "treated" for anything (at least as far as I knew) nor was I ever on any meds, we mostly talked about politics and school - but I just found out that he may have diagnosed me with some sort of very minor anxiety condition so that it could be paid through insurance. I'm meeting with him soon to get some more detailed info on my medical history.   DoDI 6130.03 says the following is disqualifying: q. History of anxiety disorders if: (1) Outpatient care including counseling was required for longer than 12 cumulative months. (2) Symptomatic or treatment within the last 36 months.  (3) The applicant required any inpatient treatment in a hospital or residential facility. (4) Any recurrence.  (5) Any suicidality (in accordance with Paragraph 5.28.m.).  I may need a waiver. Is this even waiverable? Am I screwed?
