I’ve never taken SSRIs

Alright well honestly I already have a plan, so feel free to end the thread. Decided I’m going to go for a sport license and also try to do a consultation and see what my chances are. If chances aren’t great then I will stay sport. If they look good then I’ll try for 3rd class. Appreciate the advice!

I meant in the eyes of the FAA for when I do eventually want to pursue a 3rd class. I am not concerned about my safety. I know I would do fine

Yeah I have no clue if that makes me unsafe to be a pilot. But I have never been in a car accident, I don’t look at my phone ever while driving, etc. Perfect insurance record. My “OCD” happens when I’m home and have access to my laptop. I don’t think I have any checking behaviors as mentioned in...

Anon did you figure it out?

Wow that is so awesome! Glad to hear that I will still be able to have a blast. Don’t have much interest for flying at night so SPL will do. Thank you for sharing your video! My flight school allows me to rent Cessna 162s

That’s me 100%.

Glad to hear that! I did a discovery flight already last summer and loved it. Just waiting until the weather gets nice in Seattle (so summer) to start.

Yeah that’s the only option now. Thanks

Well, crap. I called my insurance and my therapist put 2 diagnoses: Obsessive-compulsive disorder, unspecified And Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, combined type I had 0 clue about ADHD. She has never mentioned it. I know for a fact I don’t have ADHD, I have never had trouble paying...

Wondering this too. So if one has an OCD diagnosis on their medical record (mine personally says OCD, unspecified, insurance code F429), is getting a 3rd class medical basically impossible? Or could they spend money and do lots of tests and stuff?

Just to fly for fun. Maybe take a person or two from time to time.

Thank you, I will do this!

Yes I saw the psychiatrist a prior time because my therapist wanted to get a second opinion on me. This was back in January and the therapist referred me to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist said I didn’t have any mental health condition upon his interview. Still had to get a diagnosis because I...

Would there be any hope when I do decide to pursue 3rd class to get my PPL if I’m okay with spending a lot of $$$ on testing and consulatations? My “OCD” is nothing like most people with OCD. Feel like I got conned by my therapist.

Would trying to see a psychiatrist who could disprove the OCD help? Idk if it even works that way, but the therapist referred me to a psychiatrist so maybe I can talk to him. The prior time that I did talk to him, he told me I sound like I don’t have any mental health condition.

Yeah I would have been totally fine paying cash, if I had knew my dream of a pilots license would get screwed by using insurance…ugh I started therapy at 18 so I didn’t know any better. I’ll try to see what I can do. I’ll still be happy with a sports license if all else fails.

Looks like in order to go to therapy under insurance, there has to be a diagnosis in order for the insurance company to pay for it. I called my insurance company and it looks like it is there. Now I really regret seeing a therapist now… My other dream was to eventually even fly for an airline...

I haven’t gone on medication at all actually

and honestly if sports pilots the only way, and it seems unlikely I would get a medical, then that wouldn’t be bad either. I’m short so a light sport aircraft would be ideal for my height haha
