Question for y’all. I hope I didn’t goof up, but when my daughter was filling out the form for her CHL, she did state that she was seeing a psychiatrist for anxiety. She in is college, I know I had anxiety then, so she has anxiety issues when taking major exams, etc.. Anyhow, I felt she should be upfront and list it., because if DPS found it, then things could be worse.

We got a letter stating that it’s been forwarded to the Medical Advisory Board for review. Here’s the question, had anybody had dealing with the review board and have good results?

Thanks for any advice.

That's a tough one. Having anxiety can make someone's perception of reality be a little off, but if your daughter's is mainly towards test anxiety my guess is that her license will still be granted. Please let us know what happens.

Welcome to the forum!

Mod,

Sorry about posting my question in the wrong area.

C-dub, thanks for the reply and the welcome.

You told the truth. That's not a goof up.

I think you're asking if anxiety is disqualifying. I don't know the answer to that, it probably depends on other factors.. Almost everyone deals with anxiety.

I see references to denials if a person is actually on medication for treatment. Some of that medication can affect your ability to make decisions.

The following constitute evidence of a psychiatric disorder or condition likely to cause substantial impairment in judgment, mood, perception, impulse control, or intellectual ability:
• Involuntary psychiatric hospitalization in the preceding five-year period;
• Psychiatric hospitalization in the preceding two-year period;
• Inpatient or residential substance abuse treatment in the preceding five-year period;
• Diagnosis in the preceding five-year period by a licensed physician that the person is dependent on alcohol, a controlled substance, or a similar substance; or
• Diagnosis at any time by a licensed physician relating to schizophrenia or delusional disorder, bipolar disorder, chronic dementia (whether caused by illness, brain defect, or brain injury), dissociative identity disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, or antisocial personality disorder.

Thanks for the replies.

FYI…everything turned out okay and she got her CHL.

Now, guess what is on someones wish list?

Glad to hear it worked out for her. Appreciate you following up and sharing the outcome.
