Bronx, NY asked in Health Care Law for New York

Q: I went to a DA today and they said they would not procede with my case without getting my medical records. I told them

At first I told them I don't want them having them. They said they would not do the case without the medical records because I was on PTSD meds and they needed to see why. I signed a paper allowing them only out of fear because I was attacked and afraid the the person who committed the crime will not be caught. What do I do. How do I fix this with my medical records. They are going into my phyc history. If the DA has my medical records can they public see them or can they be seen in a background check? I'm worried for work sake.
