I was lucky enough to get a last minute interview and medical exam appointment and just noticed the page in Packet 4 that says "Applicants who have been treated or hospitalized for psychiatric or mental illness or alcohol or drug abuse must present written certification which includes the diagnosis, duration of treatment rendered, and prognosis."

5 years ago I was hospitalized for overdosing on my anti depressant and anti anxiety medication. Mind you, I was 15 years old and severely depressed. I am much happier now and do not have any suicidal thoughts anymore. Unfortunately I do not have enough time before my medical exam to obtain my hospital record and I am scared that I will fail my medical exam because of this. I am getting a note from my doctor this week stating that my mental health is much better now and that I am not a threat to myself or others and I hope this will suffice. Has anyone else been in this situation? I'm so scared that I won't be able to be with my fiance because of a stupid thing I did as a teenager.

You won't fail but they might put it on hold until you can send them the records if they want them.

I was going to say get a letter from your doctor but you're already going to do that. The letter may be enough.

You should be fine. I've had friends who've gone through the exact same thing and did great. You have to bring copies of your medical records to your interview anyway, which will show the incident and resulting treatment. With that, along with the letter from your doctor, you should be in the clear.

Thank you for the reply! I am going to expedite my records anyway and try to get them as quickly as possible in case they may want them. I'd rather pay $50 to save my butt than not be with the love of my life.

Thanks for the reply. So I should expedite my hospital record anyway? I'm going to pay the $50 fee to get it ASAP but I just worry I won't have it in time for the medical exam. I'd hate for anything to be postponed because of my lack of attention to detail. :unsure:

EDIT: the situation ended up being a lot easier to fix than I thought. Turns out that when I went to the hospital all I had to do was give the fax number for the office that my medical exam will be held at and they simply faxed all of my information! I thought it would have been much more complicated. Thanks for the help and I hope this may be of some help for someone.
