PES Downgrade: Must Got Hospital Specialist Memo, Got Talk?!

  Hi guys, I'm currently 3 1/2 months into my NS, and I am Temp E9L9.
  
  I have just been diagnosed with depression, and I also have auditory hallucinations (meaning that I hear voices, specifically this one male one, who often shouts vulgarities at me and tells me to overdose on my medicine ).
  
  I am not suicidal, though I have thoughts of death and am under a lot of stress - and I want to get well from my condition.
  
  But I need to ask - what documents are necessary for me to take from my psychiatrist/doctor to the MO, and what PES will I be? Will I be PES E9L9 (I am very interested in Music & Drama Company and that will help me get in), or will I get discharged (PES F) because I have Depression and Psychosis?
  
  Thanks for your help :-)

  Please submit the hospital specialist memo to the camp doctor to assess and process.

  As usual, please refer to this guideline:

  For MDC, you will need to go for an audition/ interview. 

  Please therefore seek the S1 Manpower Officer/ Chief Clerk to arrange/ liaise with MDC.

  Hello kranjicamp3

  i am very familiar with the psychiatric care system in the saf.

  i can only answer for the psychiatric side of your question. depression with psychotic symptoms alone is not enough to PES F. typically you will be temp E9L9 for a period of time before you are reviewed again. 

  I am glad to hear that you want to get better. Do drop by your Camp MO if you feel you do need help. 

  (and yes any relevant psy memo/meds will be useful when seeing your camp MO in such an event. lets hope it doesnt happen)

   

  all the best with your MDC endeavours!
