Just wanted to post my timeline since I've been in this process for a hot minute. I’m an O-3, been in for 5 years (9 total because 4 years for mil. school). Referred condition: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). I requested to be evaluated on both PTSD (3x MSTs) and MDD. Also, I originally wanted to go LDES but changed my mind last minute to go IDES. I’ll answer any questions about why/how/etc. and the biggest difference I’ve seen since being in the IDES.
