Thank you.
That was something that I'm leading to. Maybe I'll get to that question anyway, so it works out.
This is about the diagnostic process leading to the treatment. You mentioned in an answer in an earlier discussion that a checkup takes place every two years. I take it that's for every person in the forces. Is that correct?
The post-deployment process has an examination or diagnostic process as well. Both are geared to identify mental illness. When given the information, what recourse does that individual have? You mentioned denial, and that's something that concerns me. Can they walk away and just say they don't want any treatment, that there's nothing wrong with them? Can they return to service? Can they challenge their tests? I'm sure they can just ask to get retested or to have a second opinion.
My concern is with someone who is identified as having a mental illness. What is their recourse? What if they are in denial? What is the recourse for the forces, and what is the recourse for the individual?
