I was medically rejected due to past mental health history. I submitted a detailed latter from my doctor stating I do not meet the criteria to be diagnosed with these things, it was a very strong detailed letter & they rejected me again. Second time around I’ve gone to see a psychologist, I haven’t received his letter yet, but from what he said in the appointment it seems he also agrees that I don’t meet the criteria to be diagnosed with these things and he said he would be more than happy to write me a letter. He actually cut the appointment half an hour shorter than it was supposed to be and he said he doesn’t require a follow up appointment with me… my doctor is more than happy to write another letter as well. Is there anything else I could do to make my second appeal stronger? to be clear, i don't believe ive ever actually been diagnosed with anything ive always just gone off of what i was told growing up by my mother, my doctor has even asked me who diagnosed me so clearly she didnt have it documented either (i know i should have looked more into it before applying i just didnt really think to much of it because again it was what i was always told so i believed it) any advice is appreciated!
 
Mental health is a tough one. Not a medical person. CAF understands injuries to the body, not so much mental health stuff. And I know there are things that are a no go. Don't want someone unstable to be in charge of weapons. Not saying that is you, but that appears to be their mentality. Even when in, mental health is a fuzzy weird thing. I know people who can barely walk and are still in, but others who had some sort of mental health challenges and have been released. If they rejected you twice, I am not sure what you can do. You can try again, if recruiting will permit you. Otherwise you may need to find a different way to serve. If you want, there is an applicant fb page, there are medics and those that work in recruiting, might be worth it to ask to speak to one of these folks in private to get a more educated answer. Best of luck!
