Ok, hypothetical here. A person was on anti-depressants for one year to treat one single episode of depression. The episode and medication ended three years ago, and since then the person has been in excellent health, both mentally and physically, and has excelled in school and work. What are the chances of that person going to Navy OCS (or AF OTS)? Most of the forum gouge I've found online has said that such a person would be permanently NPQ'd with no hope, but the DoDI 6130.03 says:
"Unless otherwise stipulated, the conditions listed in this enclosure are those that do NOT meet the standard by virtue of current diagnosis, or for which the candidate has a verified past medical history:
f. History of depressive disorders, including but not limited to major depression (296), dysthymic disorder (300.4), and cyclothymic disorder requiring outpatient care for longer than 12 months by a physician or other mental health professional (to include V65.40), or any inpatient treatment in a hospital or residential facility.
g. Depressive disorder not otherwise specified (311), or unspecified mood disorder (296.90), UNLESS:
(1) Outpatient care was not required for longer than 24 months (cumulative) by a physician or other mental health professional (to include V65.40).
(2) The applicant has been stable without treatment for the past 36 continuous months.
(3) The applicant did not require any inpatient treatment in a hospital or residential facility."
