At 15 years old I was diagnosed with anxiety NOS. This was based on concerns my mother brought up to my doctor after my first girl friend broke up with me. She was worried I had some suicidal thoughts (I did not) and wanted me to have some testing. After all the testing the psychiatrist came back with an anxiety NOS diagnosis. Is this an automatic DQ?

Here is the standard, if the conditions below "UNLESS" fit your situation you should qualify.
p. History of anxiety disorders (300.01), anxiety disorder not otherwise specified (300.00), panic disorder (300.2), agoraphobia (300.21, 300.22), social phobia (300.23), simple phobias (300.29), other acute reactions to stress (308)
UNLESS:
(1) The applicant did not require any treatment in an inpatient or residential facility.
(2) Outpatient care was not required for longer than 12 months (cumulative) by a physician or other mental health professional (to include V65.40).
(3) The applicant has not required treatment (including medication) for the past 24 continuous months.
(4) The applicant has been stable without loss of time from normal pursuits for repeated periods even if of brief duration; and without symptoms or behavior of a repeated nature that impaired social, school, or work efficiency for the past 24 continuous months.
If you meet the standard... When you complete your medical form I would specifically describe why you are qualified. Something like Diagnosed with Anxiety on XX/XX. with no recurrence. No medication was required. No inpatient or residential care was needed. etc.

DD had a similar diagnosis with no history of meds or further issues. She received a remedial asking her to secure a current diagnosis. The doc at mental health gave her rave reviews and afterwards she was qualified. So just be prepared to receive a remedial to follow up with your doctor.
