The Board denied service connection for major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, insomnia, left knee disability, right knee disability, left shoulder disability, and low back disability as the evidence did not show a current diagnosis or functional limitation that could be considered a disability.

The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence was against a finding that the Veteran had any diagnosed psychiatric, sleep, knee, back, or left shoulder disabilities during the appeal period.
