Somatoform disorders depressive mood disorders and anxiety disorders are all disqualifying for entry into the Navy. You do not have sufficient service completed for it to be service aggravated. So, they will prepare a medical board report which will recommend your discharge for a pre-existing medical condition in compliance with BUMED Instruction 1910.2 Series. You will be receiving a general discharge under honorable conditions. The VA may treat you for the somatoform disorder. However the others are considered to be personality disorders which do no lend themselves to resolution through treatment. So, the VA has been prohibited by law from treating those since 1981. The source below is the medical standard which covers your mental health problems and the somatoform disorder.

Depends on the characterization of your discharge. Unless you did something illegal and went to court martial, you should get an honorable discharge or general under honorable conditions. It shouldn't affect you geting a civilian job afterwards.

You'll be fine. This type of discharge should not hurt you in a background check.
If you discharged for disciplinary reasons, then you would have an issue. But not for a medical or psychiatric reason.
