Gov’t Task Force: All Doctors Should Screen Every Patient for Depression


Even more egregious, medical doctors and general practitioners are often not qualified to make a judgement as to whether a patient is suffering from clinical depression or not. Such diagnoses are usually left to psychiatrists, who are specially trained to handle such issues unlike regular doctors.

Thanks to Preventive Service’s recommendations however, citizens are now liable to be denied the right to bear arms on nothing more than the whim of an unqualified doctor.

Liberals have long brought up the specter of people with mental illnesses acquiring guns and killing others to scare people into surrendering their guns. This blatant fear mongering leads to law-abiding Americans being prohibited from owning a gun due to bogus psychiatric diagnoses, exactly how the left wants it to happen.

“Case in point, New York State Police confiscated a Navy veteran’s guns in 2014 after he received treatment for insomnia at a hospital due to anxiety.

The police used a mental health database enacted by N.Y.’s latest gun control law, the SAFE Act, to declare veteran Donald Montgomery, who is also a former detective, ‘mentally unfit’ to own firearms due to his hospital visit.

‘The Plaintiff [Montgomery] is a retired law enforcement officer with a distinguished career of more than 30 years, who retired with the rank of Detective Sergeant,’ Montgomery’s lawsuit filed against the hospital stated. ‘The Plaintiff had a spotless record and was awarded the department’s Bravery Medal; [He] had been a Commanding Officer for 15 years.’

‘At the time of his presentation at the Emergency Department of Eastern Long Island Hospital, the Plaintiff suffered from sleep deprivation, occasioned by his move from one location in the state to another, with his wife of many years, to live closer to their adult child and young grandchild.’

And despite the fact Montgomery checked himself into the ER, the hospital labeled him an ‘involuntary admission.'”
