Granted
The Board grants service connection for major depressive disorder, finding a link to the Veteran's active service based on a positive medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided by Dr. C.M., Ph.D., supported a nexus between the Veteran's current psychiatric condition and his in-service experiences, leading to the grant of service connection.
