原文：

MHS GENESIS has completely transformed the Department of Defense’s (DoD) military medical screening process, integrating health data into a single network. The system allows MEPS doctors to digitally review healthcare databases and view recruits’ medical histories.

The system helps MEPS review records more efficiently and can surface prior diagnoses, prescriptions, and treatment history, such as childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or anxiety prescriptions. The good news is that services have eased waiver restrictions for certain medical conditions, such as ADHD.

When it comes to anxiety, under current DoD medical guidelines, a history of a depressive or anxiety disorder requiring treatment or medication may be disqualifying.

中譯：

「MHS GENESIS」系統徹底改變了美國戰爭部的軍事醫療篩查流程，將全美健康數據整合進單一網路中。該系統允許新兵體檢站（MEPS）的醫生以數位化方式審查醫療保健資料庫，並直接調閱應徵者的既往病史。

該系統能幫助 MEPS 更高效地審查紀錄，並能主動顯示先前的診斷、處方和治療歷史，例如童年時期的注意力不足過動症（ADHD）或焦慮症處方藥紀錄。不過好消息是，各軍種已經放寬了對某些醫療狀況（例如 ADHD）的豁免限制。

至於焦慮症，根據現行的戰爭部醫療指引，需要治療或藥物控制的抑鬱或焦慮症病史可能會被視為「不合格」。
