Military Psychiatric Evaluation for MEPS (Missouri only)
If you are signing up for the military, and you have any mental health treatment history, your recruiter will likely tell you that you need a psychiatric evaluation for MEPS to clear you for duty. Why does MEPS sometimes require this? Simply put, the military wants to be sure that you are able to cope with the various stressors of military life. You can expect to discuss past and present psychological treatments, medications, or conditions.
One of our psychiatry providers will evaluate you, and write a letter that explains whether or not they are recommending you for duty, and why. This letter belongs to you, and you can download it from your portal. Rest assured, we do not share your information with anyone, including MEPS or your recruiter, without your expressed written consent.
