There is nothing that makes us different from gen pop, except that we need to lie, hide or misrepresent health concerns.
Anti depressants aren’t aspirin. Chronic clinical depression is specifically disqualifying. Meds to restore psych/emotional balance come attached to adverse side effects and efficacy guesswork on a case by case basis. Patients going off treatment without reporting/disclosure cannot be ruled out. Is overall safety increased if broader approval for use of routinely prescribed depression/anxiety medication is made available to airmen? What scale does that?
