What is VA's definition of this, with RE: to MH rating, such as 'occasional' vs 'severe' ?
I lost 1 job in 2011-was diagnosed by VA MH as severe depression/MDD Recurrant-2 months later with sale of company I was not kept. Had had problems with customers and coworkers relations, which is what prompted me to seek a MH referral. Unemployed for 4 months after, then next job, still adjusting to MH and meds, same field (IT Support/engineering) lost 10 months later for similar reasons. Currently just passed 1 rocky year here, 38 absenses, write ups, over the first year, currently on a 6 month performance improvement path that has 2 outcomes only.
I can't be moved to a different job with no client contact in the dept that I work in-im already somewhat sequestered from cust contact and I take reduced cases already. Currently rated 50%.
Still in counseling with monthly or so Psych med evals. Seretraline has gone from 50-100-150, currently 200mg in the last 2 years.
Excerpt from my most recent treatment notes say,
"Veteran has been working with Dr.F for MDD, recurrent, and Dr.
RE for mood and anxiety symptoms as it relates to work. Veteran
describes history of mood problems over at least last 4-5 years that have
become progressively worse. States he has trouble getting along with clients
and co-workers, is impatient and irritable, becomes angry easily and these
behaviors have caused him to lose at least two jobs and caused conflicts at
home. His situation is further complicated by a chronic back pain condition
that occured during the military.
