Trying to join army, not sure about my mental health history?

Trying to join army, not sure about my mental health history?I want to join the army, but not sure about my medical history. Physically nothings wrong, and criminally im clean. But my mental health past may come into play. Im not sure if I should disclose this info or not to the recruiter/army. If they're going to find out, obviously id rather tell them. But if there's a good chance they'll never know Id rather not say anything.

I went to a behavior health center when I was 13 years old and think I was diagnosed with OCD. They prescribed me medication, but I told them I didnt want to take it and mess with my mind. I was there as an outpatient, so I wasnt required to be there.

And when I was 17 years old, I went to a therapist and said I wanted to be a woman and get a sex change. I left after 2 sessions and and ditched the idea. I paid cash if that means anything, like it wont show up on my record? I dont think she was a doctor, but it was at a hosipital wing.
Oh and by the way, its a long story but I really DONT have OCD. I and mentally fine now, and dont have any disorder.

My desires to be a woman were real, but im not joining the military for any other reason than to serve my country, and because i've always loved military stuff.

OCD might make your life difficult in the military but i don't think it would keep you out, however if you are considering being transgender then the military is the last place you need to be, either way, anything in your juvie file is sealed, they are only worried about what happens as an adult

The medication may be disqualifying. Don't mention it.

uhhh...if youve had mental problems the military is not for you. please understand that the military does not need people you are considering sex changes. they need people who love america and want to protect freedom, not some dude who day dreams of having a vagina while on patrol in Sadr City. anyway, hope this helps!!
