I believe a diagnosis prior to joining can put some set-backs in an application. Any problems if you're diagnosed after joining?

ADHD and other learning disorders are only listed under conditions that can disqualify for joining. None are listed under retention standards.I believe a diagnosis prior to joining can put some set-backs in an application. Any problems if you're diagnosed after joining?
Depends on who you talk to. Many psychiatrists believe that adult ADHD doesn't exist. That it's either a current misdiagnosis for something else, or a late diagnosis of ADHD as a child that was never treated.Isn't a true dx of adult ADHD ultra-rare?
Hello, I am currently a premed student. I am wondering if having a prior diagnosis of ADD/ADHD is definitely going to prevent me from getting into the USUHS?
DC- You're on ASR, right? You'd probably be wise to go to an MTF and get a diagnosis from a military psychiatrist. I'd REALLY be careful about taking Adderall or anything else not prescribed via a military doc that will test for amphetamines on a pop-drug test.
You probably should not aspire to be a flying status physician though.
