Will do, that’s what I plan to do today when I get out of work.

That’s what I want to know. There were a couple prescriptions, but not for everything he supposedly diagnosed. I’d love to know the answer to this as well. I’m going to call my doc office tomorrow to see what’s on file.

The bipolar was never official, that I know of. He just said “you might have this” even though he talked at me for the 15 minute call and never really learned anything about me because I couldn’t get a word in edgewise. If it wasn’t official, is there a way forward?

I would never lie to the FAA. That’s not something I want to do in the slightest. And didn’t seem like my doctor’s office had any record of his “diagnoses,” so I was just wondering if I had to report it if he didn’t report it. Like maybe it wasn’t an official diagnosis? Like I said, we talked...

About two years ago, I went to a psychiatrist or psychologist (I can’t remember which, and he diagnosed me with Borderline Personality Disorder, ADHD, and hinted at Bipolar. I’ve since started my aviation journey, thinking nothing of it, and need to get my medical clearance. I know I won’t pass...
