if you get to PEPC just bring every kind of medical record, ever.

also, if you have specific concerns, go to the "ask a flight surgeon" forum outside of here. good luck.

If you've been to a shrink, doesn't matter how long ago, you better get the notes from every visit, including any diagnoses, treatments, etc., and their outcomes and have it available. It may or may not be disqualifying, but more than likely it will require further review and maybe even another visit to the shrink to determine what your current state is.

You are only required to list visits to medical professionals within the past 3 years. If however, you were diagnosed with a mental health DISORDER (ever) you are required to check yes on the box that asks this question.

If you went to a therapist 5 years ago because you broke up with your girlfriend and needed someone to talk to, you need not list it. If you were diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and put on meds, then yeah, you have to list it.
