Even if an AME approves you, your application for a medical certificate can be flagged for review. Definitely do the consultation as advised by a previous poster. If an AME approves you, do not start flight lessons until you are sure your application didn’t have to get reviewed. They will send you a letter in the mail about a month after your AME appointment. It might not hurt to get a second opinion from another doctor about your diagnoses. Depression is overly diagnosed in our society. Also, google FAA approved medications. There are a lot that you can’t fly on, or will be automatically disqualifying for a medical. Make sure you know your chances and get all the documents that will help support your case BEFORE you go to the AME. As tempting as it might be to lie, don’t. The penalty for perjury is severe. Things have a way of coming out into the open.
