Hello. I worked in the Oversees Screening Office for a couple of years. What will happen is your sister in law will go for a screening with a doctor. The doctor will ask about her past medical history and what medications she is on. Also, they will review her medical record to see how her treatment is going. The doctor will then forward the findings to the medical treatment facility in Japan and let them decide if they are able to support her medical needs.
The screening process is used to ensure that the medical facility can handle condition. For the most part it shouldn't be a problem.

beings that she is a dependent, she will have to get a physical(not exactly like he will) to determine her health, now with something as simple as anti-depressants(not saying that it's nothing, but better then a heart condition or something,follow!?!).....well more then likely medical in Japan will have the meds and capabilities to take care of her, screenings for dependents aren't AS strict as those of Navy personnel. Hope I helped...

From an Army stand point, what happens is this. She will see a Doctor and answer some questions. If she is okay know, it wont be a problem. Even if she still sick if there is a Doctor than can treat her in the next duty station she can accompany him. It is all to make sure the family is care for. Good Luck

Well,
If there is medical facilities that would support her conditions, he should not have trouble taking her along as a command supported dependant. However, if she has been successfully treated for her condition and requires no treatment overseas - she should not fail.

I would check on that...
try http://www.military.com
you need to register to post etc etc.
Lots of active duty and retired military plus spouses and dependents there.
In the news/hot topics current events/point counterpoint the busiest forums.
Sounds kinda suspicious....Anti-depressants are not a real big deal.
Military spouse always a lot of stress.

Email your Congressman or Senators and ask them to find out. I would recommend you explain the situation better and use proper writing when you do.
This Page lists the Senators with Web sites and links to them.

Screening only to insure those with serious diseases or conditions are not sent to places where they could not be treated. I don't think depression falls in that area.

I really don't know.But if you have high blood pressure or diabetes and on medication are you caught up by these rules.I think not.Maybe if you are an addict to cocaine etc...then applies.
