RE: Anxiety and Depression
What I've told by Instructors and other pilots regarding any previous psychiatric problems you may have or had in the past is to lie. Besides I know of many present commercial pilots who are on some medication. We are all human, including pilots. There are millions of people who take medication for anxiety or depression. If all of a sudden in the middle of your career you encounter such a problem, what are you supposed to do quit and throw everything that you worked hard for down the toilet? These things happen. I would rather fly with someone who has their issues under control by a doctor than with someone who is not being treated.
