There have been several times in my life that I was so overwhelmed with grief and loss that I considered getting counseling. I resisted that because I worked jobs that required security clearances and knew shit like this would happen sooner or later. I'm tough and I gutted the problems out alone but it would have been much better to get some help.
Sure enough, here's discrimination based upon receiving help in coping! If someone is acting up and making dangerous statements, I believe stepping in is the right plan. Without bad behavior to justify it, that's just plain wrong.

And this is the danger. Now people who need legitimate help with something will refuse to seek
said help out of fear of having their legally owned property seized.
It only makes the problem worse.

His answer: Bupropion is an anti-depressant medication that is marketed as Wellbutrin for treatment of depression...and marketed as Zyban for smoking cessation. Prescribing either Wellbutrin or Zyban would cost significantly more, due to the name-brands, while prescribing bupropion, the generic name, accomplishes the same goal while keeping costs minimal. However, if anybody ever sees my medical records and notices that I've been prescribed an anti-depressant medication, it could cause problems. So, he took the effort to specify "for smoking cessation."
To this day, and I'm beginning to wonder about this more...is that prescription from 10 years ago going to come back to haunt me because of some gun-grabber provision buried in a law somewhere?

Oh shit....I've been prescribed that for my ADD.....and its through the VA.
