Default Depression and flying

So, you admit to treating a depression? Even with Flying, any depression
requiring treatment is disqualifying.

I spent two years without a medical because I took Welbutrin for two
months. Is it any wonder that pilots who suspect that they are suffering
from depression don't seek treatment?


It truly is a Catch-22 situation, and I'm sure the FAA's current policy
has made liars out of many hundreds of pilots.

Luckily (for me), flying itself is a catch-all cure for depressions of all
kinds...
