In my state, at least, these records would be privileged.

Privileged means that the prosecution could not obtain them, even if they were relevant to the prosecution of the crime charged.

I have seen people quote the Florida Constitution as to the right of privacy. But what about doctor patient privilege? Is it created by statute? Or is it simply a common law privilege? Does it apply in criminal cases? Is there a recognized exception to the privilege that arguably applies here?

Are the briefs submitted in connection with the case available somewhere on line?
