Hello all, I am currently attempting to apply for SWO, looking up my medical records, (which I haven't done in a long time), I completely forgot I was seen for depression and then seen by a psychiatrist for "Suicidal Ideation" almost four years ago, I unfortunately made the mistake of googling symptoms and as everyone knows, google gives the most accurate information, and thought I had depression. Under past medical histroy, it says SEVERE DEPRESSION DISSORDER, SINGLE EPISODE, which I know now was a complete exaggeration and Suicidal Ideation, which wasn't true. Due to my stupid teenager self thinking I had Suicide Ideation and Major Depression dissorder, it is now on my records even though I never saw treatment, never went back for a revisit, and never took the meds they perscribed because I thought it was all blown out of proportion. Again, I KNOW I never had these because I never felt this way, but since I was technically seen for these and the fact that I gave out wrong information based and thus the doctor gave out a wrong diagnosis and will now always be on my record. I called my health provider and they legally can't alter my records at all but they cleared me that I am in good health. I hate the fact that one 30 min visit with false information will ruin my career in the Navy. I know the military is super strict about these things. I am still going to apply but was wondering my chances. Should I tell the information to MEPS even though I know without a shadow of a doubt I did not have these? or should I not say anything and hope for the best.
