andrew T asked:
If I had my diploma, and parental consent, could I enlist in the army if I was just diagnosed as Clinically Depressed?
What other medical conditions could prevent me from enlisting?
no, im not blind.
but what if im on anti-depressants?
what that hold me back?
clinically depressed, no. There are lots of other conditions that will reject you, diabetes, seizures, aids, hiv,
if you were blind. ya , are you blind? they don’t want you shooting guns if you can’t see ****.
It might hold you back, take a look at this link for disqualifying medical conditions:
Keep in mind that there are medical waivers for a lot of these dq’s. Since you want to enlist in the Army I’d have to say that you have a higher chance of being granted a waiver for that branch then if it were another. I wish you luck and hope that you are able to get in. Thank you for wanting to serve our country!
Depression controlled by medication is disqualifying. As for what else, the link below is to the medical standards. Scroll down to Chapter Two and study it. There are over two hundred conditions which can disqualify you.
a clear mind and minimal attention to world news headlines would keep you out.
