Will turning in another waiver from the VA psychologist saying I’m fine help me get back in with an RE-3?

So I’ve been fighting to get back in I was released on an RE-3 code for a mood disorder in my discharge it said temporarily not eligible to remain in service I’ve been denied 3 times from the waiver board I contacted the VA to see if they could help and gave me a fit for duty mental evaluation and the psychological said I had no sign of ever having a mood disorder of any kind and I didn’t in your opinion do you think me turning in another waiver with the VA psychologist saying I’m fine will help
Me get back in? I won’t stop fighting until the day I get back in I wasn’t ready to be out of the military?

No, a letter from a VA doctor won't have any additional value, nor result in a waiver.
If you have documentation from your period of service that contradicts the diagnosis made during service AND/OR contradicts the other supporting documentation that resulted in your separation, THEN you may be able to correct your discharge and not need a waiver. No, the letter from the VA doctor doesn't contradict the diagnosis made during service.

I think that from my experiences as a recruiter and a Station commander, that you can only apply for a medical waiver only so many times until you are permanently disqualified. I think that number is 2 if I remember right. I have been retired for almost 19 years and the rules have probably changed a little bit but the best thing to do would be go to a recruiter and find out what the regulation says about your situation. Best of luck.

The Arny is not doing RE behavioral health waivers at the moment.

Have you tried talking to an active duty recruiter?
