Texas, juvenile mental health records


Got a question for y’all. I’m a 30 year old Texas resident, no criminal history.I’m interested in obtaining my Texas LTC but I’m worried about my childhood mental misdiagnosis. I had a very mentally unstable mother who doctor shopped while my siblings and I were only pre-teens/teenagers and had me seen, diagnosed and medicated for bipolar, depression, anxiety and ADHD.These misdiagnosis caused a severe amount of harm physically, mentally and now I’m worried this will harm me into late adulthood. The doctors I was seen by were pill pushers, one of them lost his license years ago for malpractice.I left home about 10 years ago, I haven’t seen a psychiatrist in over ten years, never been involuntarily committed, nor have I taken medication since leaving home. The last psychiatrist I sought out before I left home said he saw no indications of any mental disorders and my behavioral issues at home were due to being medicated for illnesses I did not suffer from.I have no paperwork, I don’t know what my records say, I’m assuming everything my mother took me in for is on my juvenile medical record.How would I go about handling this? Do juvenile records count towards the application process? How do I truthfully answer the mental health portion of the questions if I don’t even know what’s truly on my record? One of the doctors I was seen by lost his license and passed away, all the others I can’t remember the names of or the offices they worked in.Should I just go ahead and apply and see what happens? Any input is appreciated, thank you. via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/3hVIVnl
