My medical is with Dr Cheema about a month from now. I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety and in 2019 I had two suicide attempts. I was never hospitalized for these (they were minor), I had another time when I had suicidal thoughts and voluntarily went to a mental health clinic (they never actually admitted me) I haven't had any thoughts of self-harm or attempts since around that time. I was on anti-depressants for a few months and had counseling a couple of times around then, but a few months after taking the antidepressants (2019), I stopped taking them and haven't had any treatment since. 

 

I've changed my lifestyle completely since then and I haven't struggled with depression in a few years. Will I have any problems at the medical? 

 

I'll be getting a note from my family doctor, what should I ask her to include on the note? Is there any other proof I should try to get to prove that I'm not a harm to myself?

 

Can anyone with a similar past share their experience at the medical exam?

 

Any advice or reassurance is very appreciated!

Get documentation from your doctor going over your mental health history and stating that you are not a threat/risk of harm to yourself or others. You’re only inadmissible IF you are currently a risk or if the harmful behavior is very likely to return.
