You and a whole generation are learning that the “slap a diagnosis on a kid and feed him drugs” has is consequences. Unless you have problems every day, it was a bogus diagnosis, and this comes up all the time on the pilot boards. Unfortunatly the airforce, army, marines, navy and FAA won’t let you fly a plane, ever, unless you either 1. get the doctor to admit they were wrong (won’t happen) or 2. have another doctor say that that doctor was wrong (too much liability if you actually do, so he won’t), which in short says your screwed. but there are lots of jobs for land lubbers.
