Hey, Sorry if I'm using the quote feature wrong, I meant to respond to both replies. Thanks for the advice and reassurance. At this point I already wrote it all down on the form and gave it to my doctor, so my only option would be to white it out or scribble it out (which may make me look a little crazier than the actual information). I did get a separate letter from my psychiatrist that I am fine and haven't been on any meds for two years and that she supports me going, so hopefully that should be fine. Thanks again!

Hey all, I am new to these forums and have a question regarding my Fulbright medical forms. First off thank you to everyone for all the advice and experiences on this board, I have only recently found these forums but they have already been extremely helpful and interesting to read. I am in the process of having my forms filled out and tests done, and I am concerned about my mental health history. In high school I had some mental health illness, and was in the hospital a few times for 1 week each. I have since been fine, haven't been on any meds or seen a therapist of psychiatrist for two years, and have a letter from my psychiatrist that I am perfectly stable. I have lived and worked in foreign countries and been fine. I am wondering if anyone has any idea as to how this may affect my medical clearance...is this something that they are going to have a problem with, or will a note from my doctor that I have been treated and am fine be ok? Sorry if this is a stupid question, it just hit me that this may cause a problem and I am very stressed out about it. If anyone has any experience with this or knows anything about how they view past mental health problems I would really appreciate any advice or insights. Thanks!
