Sorry for bringing up this topic again, but I obviously want to make sure I have a good handle it before acting. All the posts I see seem to be about fixing counseling and meds that have already happened.
I would like to get some counseling. Quite a few things going on in life right now. It's my understanding that counseling is reportable but not generally an issue unless a psychiatric diagnosis is made. That's all well and good but I'm wondering how you get around the diagnosis for insurance purposes issue. Paying out of pocket is not currently a option. Ideas?
And not to borrow trouble, but suppose meds are necessary. It looks like a medical is possible after being off them for a time, but I'm still confused. Would a temporary med have to be one of the approved SSRI's? If you are temporarily on them and come off, is that a SI or regular medical? Can you be off 90-120 days and keep flying until your medical expires, or do you have to go right back to the AME?
Ducks in a row, you know.
