You're not likely to get P-tagged (perpetually) unless you end up with a confirmed diagnosis.

One visit to the IMH A&E is probably too brief for them to arrive at any and it is uncommon to finalize your condition there and then unless you already have a significant and relevant history (under a related professional such as a clinical psychologist or a certified counsellor), or were exhibiting abnormal behaviour and got bundled there in a hurry by ambulance, law-enforcement, concerned family, or got a P1 evaluation from the MO (which IIRC he/she is duty bound to get you to IMH immediately), etc.

Even then, not many psychiatrists would be willing to put their stamp on a diagnosis before sufficient observation and follow-up. Many psychiatric disorders do share a number of symptoms and some differ by only one or two.

Your uni placement will not be voided outright just because you went to IMH. However your admission or continued studies can be affected if you are not of mentally stable condition at the time as certified by your psychiatrist (if you were put on follow-up appointments and not discharged, that is). The uni would probably ask for a memo from your shrink for clearance if that happens.

Same goes for your future job but it would also depend on how it can be affected, or affect, your condition (if any is diagnosed). Your doctor's opinion will again play a role in this unless you plan not to disclose your history.

From what you have said it sounds more like a situational stress-related coping reaction and may not necessarily be a psychiatric issue (I can be wrong, your shrink has the final say).

Thank you so much for that input. I do however have questions relating to posting. Whenever I see my enciks, I get depressed and tired cause they are going to ask me do things to the point where I do for them and still eventually get f up. It's a vicious cycle. Then my job requires me to do a lot of adhoc, paperwork, outfield and stuff.

I just want to get out of that unit and serve ny remaining ns days somewhere else. Even if it's an active battlion. I just don't want to go back to that rotten hell hole

If it's affecting you negatively and you find it difficult to handle on your own, speak to your camp MO and ask if he is ok referring you to an SAF counsellor or psychiatrist at ***. If the MO declines, your personal psychiatrist (if you have one) can also write in to *** and ask for them to review you.

Repetitive stressors like these can, though not in all cases, build up to actual mental issues like anxiety disorders, clinical depression, or PTSD etc, particularly if you are predisposed to developing psychiatric conditions.

Should the doctors/counsellors at *** find it beneficial for you to be removed from the adversarial environment in your camp, they can look into getting you a transfer (non-guaranteed as from reading your description of the situation, your bosses may find you so useful that they fight tooth and nail to retain you). Bear in mind though that the new unit can potentially be as bad or worse.
