does anyone have any idea if post partum depression would be looked down upon in the medical? It definitely caused alot of problems for me at the time but with a bit of therapy and the aide of meds(which i'm no longer on) My life is better than ever.

The only way to find the answer to this is to apply and talk to the medical staff at the recruiting centre.
On a side note, I'm glad you have dealt with this issue and have overcome it. Congratulations. It must have been very trying for you. Good luck with your future.

I am intimately acquainted with someone whowas diagnosed and treated for post partum depression, and she needed a note from her doctor stating her tratment had ceased and that she had been without symptoms for X years. (maybe 1, maybe 1.5, or 2) I can't remember exactly. Anyway shae got her clean bill of mental health, and is serving.

Personally (and I don't know if this is any help) I got asked by the Medical Team about any history of depression and I said no. They told me that they are just looking for and signs of "recurrent depression" because it might come up later on.
Just from what they told me though, they said if its something in the past that you have overcome without repeat then it's fine.
Take care, Kyle

Here is a quote from the University of Michigan Depression Center:
"Women who are most vulnerable to postpartum depression usually have a personal or family history of depression. Studies show that most women who experience major depression after childbirth have had prior episodes of depression even though they may not have been diagnosed or treated. Those with prior episodes of postpartum depression will experience a recurrence following the next delivery about half of the time."
This would indicate to me that this is recurring depression with a high risk rate of it happening again.
That said, beach_bum had the right answer, ask the recruiting centre.
