Hi all, I’m a relatively new pilot (102 hours). I need to renew my 3rd class medical this month and had a doctor diagnose me as depressed earlier this year (I lost my job). He prescribed an anti depressant and Xanax but I never filled either prescription. I went to see a second MD for a second opinion and she suggested therapy if I didnt want meds. She did not prescribe any medications. Therapy did the trick for me, I never took medication. I don't believe I was ever depressed, I was anxious (about being laid off).
I read a similar post on this forum from a couple of years back, but I’m wondering if the depressed Germanwings pilot from earlier this year has changed the rules on this….
Does Dr Bruce still post here and/or offer pre-AME consultations?
Thanks
