How many are lying to get Jabs

I have a long term mental health condition and on putting that on the questionnaires online they won’t prescribe me the WLJ. I have spoken to my psychiatrist though and he recommended them for me so in the end I just lied to get them.
I now find myself wondering how common this is? I don’t like having to lie, especially when some prescribers want a face to face online consultation.

I got mine through my GPs so I definitely did not lie. They know all about me. I've lost 3 stone so far but still very overweight. I need them for help.

If it’s regular photos, surely you can’t change the shape of your face?

Your psychiatrist is not an expert on WLI though, so why would you trust their input over the actual research that led to the diagnostic criteria being set as they are?

@Tiredbadgerthey add on 3 stone plus to their weight and none of these pharmacies notice that their photos don’t match??? Are you sure they are legitimate pharmacies?

I did this, I was 11st, said I was 14.5st, got rejected from Voy based on photos but accepted from Simple Online Pharmacy, I just stuck my stomach out a bit.

I’d previously used Mounjaro to get from 15st to 9st but since stopping the weight went back up so I wanted to go back on to it

Your psychiatrist recommended them but didn’t prescribe them ? Pharmacists will not prescribe if you admit to the condition. Did the psychiatrist recommend lying to get them?

something doesn’t add up
