I am going through a similar issue at the moment, when I applied for my medical, I did not have any guidance once so ever. I was 19 years old and when they asked the question, "have you ever been diagnosed with anxiety or depression I filled in yes. The diagnosis was Panic disorder, anxiety, and somewhat on the verge of being depressed. Those diagnoses were from when I was 15, dealing with a lot of stuff going on in my family and getting accustomed to high school. I was taking citalopram (Celexa) from November 2019 to late July-August 2022. I applied for the medical in June of 2023, had to give the FAA the DR's notes, and for some reason, the DR, who was my pediatrician at the time, had in her notes I had signs of bipolar, which we were not informed about, and I took the test to see if I had it and tested negative for it. FAA clocked that and then said I need to get tested by a psychologist and neurophyscologist, who they both stated I am well mentally and do not have bipolar. FAA did not like that response and then sent another letter stating that I need to get neurophysiological exam, I went to Dr. Sullivan Baca in Dallas Texas, she asked me about my lifestyle and what would I do if I had any feelings of anxiety, I then told her I would ride my motorcycle and I would not give into my feelings of anxiety by simply trying to ignore them. This guy at her office, I am pretty sure he was an intern or something gave me the battery tests and they stopped me at the fourth unit, from what they told me, because I was not doing well on them. She wrote up the report and sent it to the FAA, then me. She did not like those answers about what I would do if I felt anxiety and told me I need to do CBT or get back on my medication...apprently the battery test was timed and I was not informed about it so I was taking my time on it which is why they stopped it early ($1500 gone). I did the therapy and called the office back and they told me the FULL test was $3500 even though the first time I took it they told me it was $1500 (I thought at that time 2 hours was the full test and when they stopped the test they did not inform me that test was only done partially) I was baffold and then respectfully told them that they told me the exact opposite before I went in to do my tests. I called them again not too long after, they did not answer I waited a few days because I was thinking they were busy. That was not the case, my parents called, my aunt called, the owner of the part61 school I am doing called, step parents called, and they still did not answer (voice messages were left). My stepdad reported them to the TSBEP and called the office, left a voicemail saying he had reported them, and the next day they finally called back and said they never received anything because they could not receive any voice messages (I call bullcrap). Now I have been in contact with Ramos Aviation Law firm, waiting on my blue ribbon records to be delivered to me so I can send them over to the attorney. It has been a mess and a mental strain.
