Mental Health and Flying

Hi folks
I have a serious query about mental health and flying. Considering the last few years we have all been through, I can imagine mental illnesses wether short term or longterm and in some shape or form have come to light.

How does a medical examiner view a prospective pilot who has been treated for mental health in the past ? (First Class 1 medical)
Is it an absolute no (I can understand why) or is it investigated more to understand current fitness and ability?

It’s a serious career and a serious matter. Wondering if an individual would be seen in a positive light for taking control of a situation or struck off…
