I am interested in Easyjet's comment . My AME must have forgotten this part of the examination last time....and the time before...and the time before
I'm pretty sure that all AME's have been required to ask probing questions along the lines of "has one experienced anxiety or depression since one's last medical examination" for some time now. I can't remember the exact wording but it would certainly serve as the cursory "mental health assessment" referred to. I've heard it at EASA medical renewals for several years now at least.
So yeah, perhaps your AME forgot, but if so it doesn't speak highly of adherence to standard.
