I doubt if there is a database anywhere on your psychiatric history. From your description of things I doubt that there are any records anywhere but the quandary is that you did see a physician and got a bad diagnosis

Question 22 : have you ever been diagnosed with a mental disorder? Hmm, let me ...

Man, all this hassle just for going to a shrink. I wonder how many people would hesitate going to a Psychiatrist, even if they believed they could be helped, because of the threat to their rights to defend themselves.

I have known people with PTSD who never got treatment from the VA because they ...

Giving free samples is not being diagnosed. You should ask the wife for your medical file so you can read it IMHO. I would do that simply because I'm a curious person. If the medical file cannot be produced then you were never there. Same thing with Red light tickets :evil2:
You were there if ...

By the way, how to you answer question (f) on the 4473 when you buy a gun? Maybe answer the application the same way.
I answer no, because it's true. Difference is though, that applying for the chl they're asking specifically what if anything I've been diagnosed for. That's where they got me ...

That stuff is still going on IMO. My Niece's daughter was just diagnosed as bipolar, but I don't buy it.
Same doc diagnosed her a few years ago with depression and gives her a lifetime Rx for antidepressants.
She's actually just a 21-year old millenial facing Reality for the first time and ...

Thinking about the database comment. When you saw the psychiatrist did you pay cash or was this on insurance? If on insurance then probably you have been coded 296.something (ICD9 code) and that would be the only "database" reference, filed with your insurance company.

I can barely remember - I'm ...

First, isn't there some database somewhere that can be queried to find out if you're psychiatric disposition was even reported out by the doctor?

I've been online searching for something like that. I haven't turned anything up - also possible I didn't understand what I was looking at :lol ...

Na, I wouldn't lie on the application - I have a squeeky clean record and want to keep it that way. There could be a chance that nothing would show up but I'm not willing to risk it. I'll just have to keep carrying only in my truck / rv if I can't find a way around this.

The doc was an old lady - I ...

Around 2000-01 I went through a rough patch, which turned out to be depression. The psychiatrist I went to see diagnosed me as BipolarII on my first visit, prescribed Lamictal and sent me home with free samples. I went and read up about bipolar disorder - couldn't believe that's what my problem was ...
