Hey! I'm currently finishing an aviation business degree and im interested in pursuing a PPL in about 2-3 years. I had a depressive episodes about a year ago and I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, halfway through last year my doctor started prescribing different SSRIs and "antipsychotics" even though I felt like I never needed them. I would complain of depression and anxiety and the doctors would mention other disorders such as bipolar and psychotic disorders, and I think one of them misdiagnosed me with bipolar (but he even said I'm not sure if you have bipolar but that's what I'm treating it as). I now have been completely off medication for about 6 months and have no symptoms of bipolar or depression. I'm worried this might affect my chances of passing a medical exam for the FAA in the future. The symptoms are completely gone and I believe it is not recurrent, it was just the various and huge amount of medications my doctor was trying on me. What can I do about this? I heard I can get a waiver for the depression part, but what about the bipolar misdiagnosis? how do I prove I'm not bipolar and that it was all just a misdiagnosis?
