Denied
The Board denied service connection for a psychiatric disability, including adjustment disorder, anxiety, and unspecified depressive disorder, finding no evidence linking these conditions to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a link between the Veteran's current psychiatric disabilities and his time in service due to the absence of in-service symptoms and the presence of post-service stressors.
