Resuming Flying After Depression
Going through a very rough time in my life right now, suffering from depression. Its been triggered by a situation in particular, never been an issue in 15 years flying before now.
Have taken myself off flying, was expat over 10000 hours total time, most of it widebody.
Have battled away for the past nine months or so with counselling, no medical intervention, but feel the time is approaching where anti depressants may be required.
Would appreciate it very much if any airline pilot who has been down this path could provide some feedback (pm if you like), resuming flying and medical re-certification with the UK CAA in particular.
Thanks.
