Can I still join the military if I HAD anxiety?

I got diagnosed with an anxiety disorder about a year and a half ago. They gave me medication for that which made it worse. (I was only 19 too.).

Well, I stopped taking the medication about a year ago and made some lifestyle changes (eating better, sleeping more, working out) and I don't have any anxiety anymore.

Could I still join the military or do I have to go get a psych analysis proving I'm fine?
My anxiety wasn't that bad to start with. But the doc's just love to prescribe meds for any little problem.
I was on paxil. Nasty stuff.
 
No you have a condition. Two out of three of those will probably be an possibility, (eating better, sleeping more, working out) one won't. I have had to go days with little to no sleep.

Just imagine a 24 hour shift as CQ, let alone a real world or training mission that took days.
