I think I made a foolish mistake. When I applied for my CCW, I mentioned that I had previously seen a psychiatrist for anxiety — even though the doctor had already issued a letter stating that I fully recovered.

Now it feels like I’m being punished for taking my mental health seriously.

The NYPD is now requiring me to provide a letter from a psychiatrist stating that I can handle a firearm. However, my current doctor is not willing to issue this type of documentation.

Is there anyone who can recommend a psychiatrist in NYC who is able to conduct this kind of behavioral/competency evaluation and provide the required documentation?

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
