The issues with mental health as a precursor to the exercise of your rights:

The science of mental health isn't concrete. What yesterday was a sickness is today a protected class.

Evaluation of mental health is subject to intentional or unconscious bias.That matters when:

The means to appeal or regain your rights after a mental health episode are murky at best.

It also matters that an individual's health record becomes a matter of public record which violates the Right to privacy and federal law.

Finally, the state of Mental health is not fixed. Mental health at the time of purchase does not reflect mental health at the time of violation.

This is what I'd absolutely agree with. You buy a firearm 10 years ago, but go off the deep end 2 years ago, you still legally own a firearm even if you cant buy one now. I have no idea how to address that.
