Question F on the ATF Form 4473 FIREARMS TRANSACTION RECORD PART I, asks "Have you ever been adjudicated mentally defective (which includes having been adjudicated incompetent to manage your own affairs) or have you ever been committed to a mental institution?"
All you have to do is find out if you have ever been adjudicated mentally incompetent to manage your own affairs,or have you ever been committed to a mental institution. If not you are good to go. Good luck.

* The way they asked the Question you would have to answer that you were.* However I don't think it would prevent you from getting, and qualifying for a Permit because you voluntarily sought treatment on your own rather than being committed by a Judge. Answer truthfully that yes you were treated for Anxiety.* Anxiety is nothing abnormal, and you would not be considered a Danger to yourself, or others for being temporarily treated for that condition.*

I don't think you have to disclose voluntary treatment. Usually the question they are asking is about involuntary commitment - you know, the jacket with the zipper in the back, rubber room, etc. That doesn't sound like your case.

Answer the question honestly, but don't worry about it. If you lie about it and they find out, you're screwed.
