If you have a history of mental illness you may not be allowed to join the military for fear of going rogue. You could have a terrible case of PTSD if you do join, and may not receive proper care.

The enlistment in the military by an individual with a history of mental illness would not be easy. Allot will depend on the following:

* how long ago did the person have any mental difficulties; and

* the individual would need to be examined by several military psychiatrists to determine if the individual was cleared of the problem and if the person would be able to sustain the pressure involved with a job within the military system.

If you have a mental illness, most military branches will not accept you. If you have successfully been treated for a mild form of mental illness, and are no longer on any medication or having difficulty with the illness, then most military branches should accept you. They do not want to have a soldier who might be stuck on a battlefield somewhere in the middle of nowhere and suddenly need psychiatric medication.
