Things are actually substantially more draconian with the FAA.

Any history ever (even as a kid, or for brief situational depression) of antidepressant use, for whatever reason is disqualifying and getting a special issuance requires a HIMS AME, usually an independent psychiatric evaluation and, on average, 6 months or so of fiddling around by all involved before any certificate is issued.
