It's a standard question these days, recommended. Firearms present a health risk. They want to know if you are at risk.

Well I guess it depends on why you're seeing the doctor considering all these high school shootings we've had lately

A physical determines your mental health as well as your physical health. The doctor was trying to assess if you were a danger to yourself and/or others.

A physical includes mental health screening.

Because it's a health hazard.
