not gone mad
How do ye know?
The voices in my head told me so 
I might have got the wrong end of the stick, but I think he's just asking whether you, or anyone else on the forum, is a psychiatrist.so you want me to tell a perfect stranger, on a open shooting forum, if im feeling a bit depressed or that i might be a bit loopy, yeah rightgood luck with that. bs.

PS @Jamouk : let me know if I can do anything to help. I am no psychiatrist but I care a great deal about the issue following my sister's suicide last year. The fact that many shooters deny themselves professional support, for fear of losing their certificates, is a great concern.
Kind regards,
Carl

Do you mean 'west'?This all went south quickly...
I recall Glenda Jackson being subject to the BBC's "In The Psychiatrist's Chair" with Dr. Anthony Clare and it was very telling so can only begin to imagine what he would coax from the SD membership and commencing with Red Dot and those who rail against rails as I'm certain both lack a degree of self-conetrol!

Lol yes blue you misread 
just looking for a psychiatrist as working on a project to make the medical certs thing a lot easier for anyone struggling with problematic doctors that want too much money or are conscientious objectors

I feel your pain carl stay strong mate it will get easier
As far as I can see, the FLD currently requires a statement from a general practitioner regarding the contents of their patient's general practice notes.
I'm interested to know how a psychiatrist's input would help with that? Or perhaps there have there been cases where a psychiatrist's report has been required also?

Can I recommend that you are very careful about any suggestion, intended or not, that psychiatrists (or psychologists for that matter) should or could be involved in the application/renewal process.
While I am sure you have good intentions, we know which road they famously pave...!
I have a friend who was granted a SGC after declaring one of the medical conditions on his application. His GP's practice declined to provide the necessary report, which was eventually provided by a medically qualified contact through one of our shooting organisations, a psychiatrist.
In this case the report that was submitted as a result of access to my friend's medical record and had the same status as one provided by the GP.

Real sorry to hear that Carl, I also lost my best friend of 40 odd years last year to suicide, to this day nobody can give a concrete reason for it either.
