I have OCD. It used to be VERY severe; now it's barely noticeable. I am on Luvox and Abilify meds.

There were around four major incidents that were associated with my OCD. (I won't go into detail unless it's necessary.)

I live in Canada, and is it possible to get my PPL here?

highly unlikely if in USA / FAA PPL

Judging by some of the guys I fly with, I'd say so LOL!

Sorry to say the answer would be no in the US. I suspect Canada is similar but you should definitely ask a Canadian aeromedical certification person.

However...Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) rules in the US allow people to fly certain small single-engine aircraft with just a driver's license in lieu of an FAA medical. But this only applies to pilots who have not applied and been rejected for a regular FAA medical. It sounds to me like you might be able to safely do that.

If you're interested in LSA, DO NOT apply for an FAA medical...based on your current situation, you will be rejected and that rejection would then preclude you from exercising LSA pilot privileges.

I would contact an aviation medicine consultant before you attempt to do any flying or apply for any certificates in the US. They should be able to advise you on the regulations and also verify whether you might be able to safely operate an aircraft...just because you legally CAN fly an LSA doesn't mean that you should. Get an expert opinion on that first.

it's possible thru the HIMS process ... long and expensive and then for you only a 3rd class
