PES Downgrade: Must Got Hospital Specialist Memo, Got Talk?!

KranjiCampIII SG

Hi guys, I'm currently 3 1/2 months into my NS, and I am Temp E9L9.

I have just been diagnosed with depression, and I also have auditory hallucinations (meaning that I hear voices, specifically this one male one, who often shouts vulgarities at me and tells me to overdose on my medicine ).

I am not suicidal, though I have thoughts of death and am under a lot of stress - and I want to get well from my condition.

But I need to ask - what documents are necessary for me to take from my psychiatrist/doctor to the MO, and what PES will I be? Will I be PES E9L9 (I am very interested in Music & Drama Company and that will help me get in), or will I get discharged (PES F) because I have Depression and Psychosis?

Thanks for your help :-)

Please submit the hospital specialist memo to the camp doctor to assess and process.

As usual, please refer to this guideline:

For MDC, you will need to go for an audition/ interview.

Please therefore seek the S1 Manpower Officer/ Chief Clerk to arrange/ liaise with MDC.

Hello kranjicamp3

i am very familiar with the psychiatric care system in the saf.

i can only answer for the psychiatric side of your question. depression with psychotic symptoms alone is not enough to PES F. typically you will be temp E9L9 for a period of time before you are reviewed again.

I am glad to hear that you want to get better. Do drop by your Camp MO if you feel you do need help.

(and yes any relevant psy memo/meds will be useful when seeing your camp MO in such an event. lets hope it doesnt happen)

all the best with your MDC endeavours!
