A psychologist might have a phd and be called "doctor" but that does not make him a physician and the state may require something from a physician (psychiatrist).

You need a psychiatrist (a physician) to prescribe medication so I'm pretty sure he wasn't just diagnosed by a psychologist and given drugs for 9-10 years before he decided to go off his meds.

I was responding to post #2 and trying to keep the poster from wasting money seeing the wrong type of professional.

Sorry I misspoke a Psychiatrist, not a psychologist. Thanks for catching my mistake.

Do you find that you are depressed a lot? Missing work? Lack of energy? You spend a lot of time sleeping? But then, your fine. Really enjoying life, making lots of plans, you start a lot of projects, you are the life of the party, happy with yourself and your life? But then things don't work out and your depressed again?

That would be bipolar. If you find that your still having these issues. I would suggest not owning a gun.

However, self diagnosis is very difficult.

Before buying a gun, I would suggest a complete evaluation from a Psychologist, just to be sure you are not having issues that would endanger yourself or your loved ones.

That way with a clean bill of health, you can safely own a gun.
