[My Flight Surgeon]

It depends on how long he took the medication and why. If it was for a short time for a situational depression, it will be no big deal - if it was for several years then they may want to see his records (he has to provide these to them) or have a psychiatric evaluation.

This is another example of people not thinking and not reading the form. There is not a block that asks about previous medications, it asks only for current medications. There is however a block that asks for a history of mental problems which includes depression.

My advice - he should seek out an AME who does a lot of medial exams; i.e., more than 200 a year, and is likely to be able to get a better history and give him some good advice.
