A totally medically and psychologically unqualified response here, I can only pass on observations from other colleagues with similar problems over the years.
Wheeler, your friend will have this requirement until such time as he/she spends a lot more of their hard earned money for a FULL psychological evaluation, and clearance with indication that any problem which may have existed was transitory, with no more probability of re-ocurrance than is the norm in the general population.
The first move will be up to him/her, the licencing authority and it's medical board will be happy to accept the established status quo of regular 'howgozits' for what they see as an existing or potential condition. It will be up to your friend to go the extra mile and extablish that this existing or potential condition no longer exists.
This general rule doesn't apply exclusively in the psychological field, it exists across the board in all areas of medical evaluation.

Old Smokey
