It's nice to see the FAA begin to come out of the dark ages regarding mental health issues.

Most people suffering from depression are neither suicidal nor untreatable. Those here demonstrating hysterical reactions to this announcement are themselves operating both WITHOUT detailed knowledge on the subject and WITH emotion based stereotyping.

Those who do have treatable depression, demonstrate effective treatment without disqualifying side-effects should be allowed to function in an aircrewmember capacity with close monitoring.

I think the experts are right and the APC hysterics should continue to run around beating themselves over the head while screaming that others are crazy.
