5 years ago he had a drug induced psychotic break

[TheGunas 0]

Hi,

My fiance went through a difficult time 5 years ago.

Unable to cope with some horrible life circumstances, he turned to drugs and drink and fell into a depression.

He attempted suicide, saved himself, was admitted to hospital and treated for alcohol abuse.

He has been clean since, holds a good job of high respectability, and been a productive member of society.

Should we be worried?
What documentation from physicians should we consider getting to preemptively address the issue with the consulate?

Thanks!

This is what Knightsbridge clinic will require from his doctor--

My fiance indicated he had battled some depression 3 years ago while going thru the separation from his wife. He took with him a letter from his doctor but Knightsbridge asked for this additional information. Just thought I would share so that you know all they will be asking. Hope this helps. He was given a form by the doctor and asked to have his doctor provide the following information. Please provide a brief medical report outlining:

• Diagnosis
• Investigations - if any
• Treatment
• Duration of treatments and illness
• Any prior or subsequent mental health illness
• Any incidents of self-harm, harm to others or suicidal attempts
• Prognosis and your opinion of current mental state
