    HopefulAmerican35 reacted to Greenbaum in Major Depressive Disorder and Medical Examination   
    Here is a short list of what is examined during the medical.
     
    Review all available records, including chest radiograph (ask for overseas records) Complete a history and physical examination, including vision, hearing, and dental evaluation Conduct mental health screening and, when clinically indicated, a more detailed social history, including any history of trauma, torture, or rape Evaluate for infectious disease including tuberculosis, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, and malaria and other parasitic infections (schistosomiasis and intestinal nematodes, including Strongyloides), depending on local epidemiology Review overseas records for presumptive therapy for strongyloidiasis, schistosomiasis, or malaria, depending on point of departure Evaluate for chronic diseases, including obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin B12 deficiency in select populations Perform age-appropriate cancer screening, such as mammography, colonoscopy, or Papanicolaou test Update immunizations as needed Complete laboratory testing as clinically appropriate: hematologic testing, urinalysis, lead, HIV testing, hepatitis B testing for those arriving from countries with prevalence >2%, specific sexually transmitted infection testing, or other screening, such as basic metabolic panel and liver function testing I can only speak for the Philippine process, but your case would be referred to a phycologist who would conduct an interview. If you have been found to be on medication and recovering with satisfactory results (no additional action to hurt yourself) then you would be given the green light to complete your visa process. 
     
    You may be better off asking those in your sub-forum for your region to get the "boots on the ground" interruption.  Good luck and stay engaged. 
     
    BTW now is the best time to complete and submit your I-129f, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e).
