I'm enlisting and I have a few questions.

I have been talking with my recruiter, but for personal reasons I need someone other than him's opinion.

First, I have seen a counselor for depression related to family issues in the past. I have been deemed completely stable and I have no depression issues. I have also never taken any medication or been hospitalized for it. How easy is it to get a waiver for a situation like this?

Second, I was on a focusing pill (Concerta) as a trial to treat possible ADD for a few weeks in late October/early November but I have been cleared of any ADHD symptoms and have been written off of the prescription for weeks now. Is any of this disqualifying?

I appreciate any answers, and if this belongs in another subreddit I will gladly move there.
