Depression
Hi there,
Before I begin, I want to apologize to those who have done this topic to it's death. However, because of the search option not being available I hope you can bear with me!
I am a wannabe, who is just about to embark on a PPL as part of the long road to the pointy end of an airliner. However, I have been told that I have mild/medium depression by my GP. Is this as serious an issue that I think? I would like to know...
1) Is this going to be a major sticking point in any future career?
2) Will this question be raised by the CAA?
3) Do I keep quiet, take the pills and carry on? I am loathe to do this however as the rules are there for a reason. I am a firm believer in safety above all else and wouldn't want to jeopardize this by my ignorance.
At the moment, any help would be gratefully received.
All the best,
Bluenose
