I am still in the Air National Guard and my ETS is next month, I am about to get out. I also recently just got back from deployment last month and I feel like my mental health got worse. Ever since joining the military, I've developed all sorts of mental issues such as anxiety, depression, paranoia, nightmares, sleep paralysis. I never really seek help or treatment for it until now (my last 2-3 months in the military), because I feared disciplinary actions or retaliations if I went to our medical clinic for these while I was still in. I didn't wanna get kicked out or just by being a "problem" to my chain. I really feared letting anyone on-base know about it until now that I am about to get out next month. Anyway, I just started going to the clinic and mental health and we are in the works of getting a referral to an actual psychiatrist. The psychologist/advisor there told me that I would definitely need medications for my mental condition. How likely am I to get approved for va disability compensation? even though I will be getting treatment and diagnosis after getting out of the military? I am just worried I might not approved just because I'm already out of the military when I get to start getting treatment and diagnosis. The psychiatrists here in my area are fully booked and they dont have available appointments until next month which is my last month in the military.
