Question by MMD: Can I join the Navy if…?
Can I join the Navy if…..?
I attempted suicide at 16 years old and was admitted into a “behavioral health” hospital (it was a locked psych hospital called Foundations Behavioral Health Hospital”) and was an out-patient at Horsham Clinic. I am on Lexapro as an anti-depressant and Concerta for ADHD. It is possible I am bi-polar (not yet diagnosed, in the process of talking to therapist and psychiatrist. My moms twin brother was bi-polar.) PLEASE let me know if there is anyway I can ‘block’ this or have it not show up in background checks. Is it possible I can still join the Navy/get a ROTC scholarship?

Question by Do your own thinking!: What is and is not “drug-seeking behaviour”?
Saw a movie recently that had a bit of dialogue between a shrink and her legitimately stressed-out patient that went roughly — _very_ roughly —

Doctor: What can I do to help you?
Patient: At this point, I need some Valium or something like that.
Doctor: I won’t prescribe it. That’s drug-seeking behaviour.

Absurd as it is, even the most rational sort of ‘I think I am at the point where I am in need of medication’ seems to be labelled “drug-seeking behaviour” by a lot of doctors. Are there formal definitions for it?

Best answer:

Answer by ? BTriX??
That is a touchy subject in patient – doctor relations.
