Should a behavioral health diagnosis affect whether one receives an Article 15?

I'm trying to get some information in regards to behavioral health med boards.
I recently got a company grade article 15 for doing to dumb stuff. However, before I got the article, my wife sensed something was different with me, as well as I did. So, I ended up going to behavioral health to get some help.
Long story short, I have dissociacated identity dissorder. I am wondering if my NCO's or my command should have pushed for any articles, or if they should have realized that I have a mental disorder and that I am trying to get help with it.

Dissociacated? I think you mean dissociative. And that's a questionable diagnosis as (from what I've read) even medical experts can't agree if it actually exists or if it's just a symptom of other psychiatric issues. Furthermore, this is probably the #1 "condition" that people get "diagnosed" with when they're either seeking attention, or have legal/financial considerations. It's going to raise eyebrows at to its reality.

As you said...you did "dumb stuff" so you got a 15. You knew it was dumb to do and you did it....Man up, suck it up, and take what you earned ( in this case an Article 15). As for your mental health issue, I'm agreeing with Major Ian Dews.
