Doctor: "Mr. Smith, even though you got this new job and you think your life is great, I believe you still have signs of acute depression."
"We've got a "team" of depression counselors who will visit you periodically at your home to "monitor" your behavior."
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Smith, do you or Mrs. Smith own any firearms?"
Good grief!
A lot of depression medication actually may provoke suicide. Had a dear friend recently do this to herself, and while the signs were sort of there, it was still a shock.
Will this Bull Shit ever end??
Mr. Smith you owns guns you are depressed. Wait here while I make a phone call.
Referral fee$. And happy pills....in return for serfdom.
What was that drug called in ‘1984’?
Prozac Nation has arrove. Arrived?
No, I like arrove better.
You can sure see where this one is headed. No guns for you if your doctor thinks you might have depression.
If depression were like, say, a urinary tract infection, for which firm diagnosis is easy and treatment is routine, this would probably be a good idea. However, diagnosis of depression is far more complex, and it’s far more difficult to find treatment that is helpful.
Precisely. You nailed it.
Of course they do. Screen, report, no firearms.
Define depression. After losing a family member, a pet, a job, someone may feel “depressed.” Define it. I can’t either.
And medication for “depression” is just a chemical that gives a false sense of feeling good. The situation that led to the depression is still there. The body can not express what it feels (sadness, shock, etc), and the problem is still there.
buy ammo buy often
They are going to cause Doctors to have depression.
I don’t think your primary care physician is competent to diagnose depression at an annual physical. The danger here is through zealotry or government mandate a physician could enter such an diagnosis in your medical record without disclosing same to the patient. Voila, you are on the no guns for you list and can expect a night-time raid by an ATF SWAT team.
And if they are depressed contact BATFE immediately!
This is nothing more than a transparent attempt to establish data prior to the future gun grab.
DON’T ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, IF YOU KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOU.
“All adults, including pregnant women and new mothers, should be screened for depression as a routine part of health care, a government advisory group recommended Tuesday.”
Just the govt’s. way of whittling down who can possess firearms.
I’ve been depressed since 1990 or so....
Whenever I get asked that question,(Are you feeling depressed?) usually by the poor nurse taking your vitals, my comeback is “You first!”
If you even give a hint that you are, that goes into your record and is available for the government, like if you want to buy a gun. Forget that HIPAA privacy crap - it doesn’t apply here.
