Hello, I am new to the forums and have a question regarding question 26 and FID. I will be getting finger printed tomorrow and then hopefully submitting my application. In regards to question 26 (Have you ever been attended, treated or observed by any doctor or psychiatrist or at any hospital or mental institution on an inpatient or outpatient basis for any mental or psychiatric condition? If yes, give the name and location of the doctor, psychiatrist, hospital or institution and the date(s) of such occurrence.), how far back does one need to go? I was seen one time (initial visit) by a psychiatrist in 2008, and once in 2009 (different psychiatrist) in which I was prescribed meds, but never took them (picked them up however) and never went back - both for general anxiety issues. Also currently my GP prescribes me anti-anxiety meds when I fly. Would this information constitute me needing to answer 'yes' to question 26? Will doing so decrease my chances of getting a FID? Also when they do the mental health background check, what records are they checking? I called my old GP to see if they had the names of the psychiatrist I visited, but apparently the records are too old that they don't have them so I don't even remember the doctors names. How will the police department be able to find out this information? Thanks
