I would just ask the Doc if he has actually diagnosed you with anything.
It can happen here.

Re: Psych question...
For doctors to cover their behinds, and good practice, your medication and you diagnosis should always match. It would be be tough for a doctor to explain why there's a presciption for depression, anxiety, etc. if the person had never been diagosed with depression, anxiety, etc.Frost wrote:I would just ask the Doc if he has actually diagnosed you with anything.
Still I imagine this would come up for a person only after receiving a CHL and something going horribily wrong that would cause the law to dig into this sort of info.

It is very common for doctors to prescribe "off-label".Zee wrote:It would be be tough for a doctor to explain why there's a presciption for depression, anxiety, etc. if the person had never been diagosed with depression, anxiety, etc.
Again, I think that only serious mental conditions are grounds for barring a person from having a CHL. Unless the condition is debilitating, I wouldn't worry. After all, who hasn't been depressed or anxious at some time in their life? IANAL nor an MD.
