I understand you are nervous and concerned.  However, misrepresentation is even worse during immigration journey.

It appears that you do have your record and personal file proving that not only did you get treatment, but a professional is certifying you are not a danger to yourself and others.  As I mentioned in the other post, this should be sufficient to get the approval and it will not affect your immigration journey any further.  From comments I have seen from other users from Germany in other threads, the letter and record is enough for the embassy there.  Furthermore, the USCIS approved doctor might refer you or you can let them know you are willing to get a new certification from a psychiatrist/psychologist and then they should approve you after that.  On the other hand, you could be proactive and just get a newer, more recent certification prior to the medical so you can take that with the old one and your record, which you can present to the doctor.  These will just increase your chances of the doctor doing your medical without any further issues.

Thank you for your kind words. 
 

I do not have any records. I have the letter from my therapist and that's it. I also don't really want them to see my records, unless they specifically ask for it. So I don't really know how likely that is to happen (them wanting my records) if they can see that I'm stable and me having the letter from my therapist

Letter should be fine as well.  As I said, worse case scenario, they might say they want you to see one now to get a letter from someone they refer you to, then approve you.

 

This is what happened to us.

I have on my medical exam that I was in active therapy.  CO yawned when he read that part during the interview.

 

Declare and don't worry about it.  Everyone needs help from time to time.  🙂

Why are you so afraid? When I did my visa I was in treatment for anxiety and panic attacks. The only thing they asked me was for a letter of my doctor about my diagnostic, treatment and how I was responding. Just that.

 

The best way to deal with immigration is tell the truth. There is nothing wrong about mental health treatments.

 

Good luck

I brought my full medical records and a letter from my therapist explaining my condition and treatment plan, and the civil surgeon didn’t make a big deal about it during the exam.
