Clusterheadache's Achievements

  1. Thanks for the responses. He still has 3 years and some months left on his contract. The exam doesn't state whether or not it was service connected, but it does state in one way or another that he started showing symptoms while in the military so I'm not sure if that is going to be an issue or not. If the military finds him unfit and he gets rated then that is my main concern. It's just so scary and I'm worried about our future.
  2. Thanks for the reply, the military doctors seem pretty certain he will be medically separated but for retirement or just plain discharge I don't know. He has served for ten years now and has no prior history of these mental illnesses before entering the military. It just seems like a pretty dark future considering he doesn't seem employable at the moment and we have 3 young children so not sure what will happen.
  3. Hello all, new to this forum and here to get some good advice on husbands current situation with the military and his eventual discharge. He is not doing very well regarding his mental state and the military knows it as well as myself. Anyways. He went to his c&p exam a couple weeks ago and I just got those results in the mail and need help understanding them. Basically here is the summary. Time lost from work in last 12 months: 6 weeks (should be more). Problems related to occupational functioning: decreased concentration, poor social interaction Axis I: obsessive compulsive disorder, depressive disorder Axis II: none Axis III: cluster headaches Axis IV: marital problems, separation from service Axis V: global assessment of functioning. Score: 40 time frame: over past year Comments: pt is severely impaired. GAF is 40 for the OCD and 50 for the depressive disorder. The OCD is the primary and the depression is secondary and due to the OCD and it's affect on his life and career. It also states he has sleep impairment and severe anxiety and panic attacks when driving which he avoids and suicidal thoughts without plan or intent at this time. And it also states he doesn't go into stores amongst other things. So basically I'm trying to figure out what our future situation is as far as disability because I look at my husband and it doesn't look good from that standpoint. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks [/html][left][/left]
