Hi,
So I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this. I am wanting to get my concealed carry for my 27th birthday in September. I'm nervous about starting the process with the sheriffs dept because of the mental history check. I had my daughter in June 2016 and was diagnosed with postpartum PTSD, postpartum depression, and postpartum anxiety after a traumatic delivery. In October 2016 I was hospitalized for postpartum psychosis for a week at UNC. My psychosis wasn't violent at all, I was just doing extreme things because of my anxiety (like staying up for 6 days straight because of fear of my daughter passing while I was asleep). I'm now better and have been completely cleared by all of my doctors. My psychiatrist is fine with me having guns and getting my concealed carry. But I am worried about starting the process because my hospitalization was involuntarily as most psychosis situations are. I have never had any other mental health issues prior to this and have no issues now. But I don't know how it will play into the decision with the sheriffs dept since it was postpartum which is temporary. I have been around and had guns my whole life, I grew up with them and my husband and I have several ourselves. Does anyone know anything about this or if theres anything I need to do like talking to someone at the sheriffs dept before starting the process?
