That’s not true. Medical records remain private unless you’ve been judged incompetent by a court of law. The doctor can accuse you of anything he likes.

Maybe when a few of those "doctors" get locked up for perjury and other things, they'll learn a lesson.

When you apply for certain jobs, you are asked if you’ve been diagnosed with anything that could impede your job duties (including mental conditions). Especially for getting a security clearance - you can’t be nuts.

ADA might give us some protection... Still, we shouldn’t expect people to have to say “that’s private, talk to my lawyer...”

Not quite, doctors can judge you a drunk and get your drivers license revoked. He can judge you a danger to society and have you put in a mental ward.

And if some lawmakers get their way he can revoke your 2nd amendment rights.
