Depression

[rufio14]

Good morning Marines,

I have a quick question. Does having a history of depression or being at one point on anti-depressants impact being able to enlist or could maybe impact your career down the road?

Son, this has been discussed numerous time.

In fact there are active topics today.

Check them out and come to a conclusion.

Absolutely! If you have a history of depression, the chances of you being accepted are slim to none. The Marine Corps isn't going to put someone with a history of that into highly stressful environments such as bootcamp or even combat if you have an increased risk of hurting yourself or someone else due to depression.

I get depressed just reading this shiat...over and over...I'm going to go take me some more meds!
