Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me on this. I have done research, and couldnt really find anything that was clear. I have been given the option to take medication for depression, anxiety, and post traumatic stress disorder. I want to be a pilot, and so I dont want to do this, if it may disqualify me. I am not chemically unbalanced by some nuerosis, it was a hard past growing up that caused these things, and my current home life. The counclor said, once I get out, i wouldnt need to take them, because my problems would be gone, and I would have learned to deal with things in a more positive manner. I have never been suicidal or anything. I was just wondering, whats the policy on accepting those who have had been diagnosed with depression, anxiety or PTSD in the past, and took medication for these, but no longer have them. I am a Junior in highschool, and I am about to apply for scholarships, so I decided Id try to find some answers. Can I become a Pilot, or even get into ROTC or the military at all with these things? I greatly apreciate any input you guys have :-D thank you!
