Hi

To OP, I know SSRI's are permitted while flying in the US. However I wouldn't be considering a career in Europe as they are still on the 'banned' list there, so you wouldn't even get a foot in the door. I'm an ATCO in Europe and haven't to be able to work for the past three years.

If I was your potential employer I'd see you as a good bet from the outset. Honesty about such a condition shows the integrity and professionalism so vital to a pilot's role.

Wishing you all the best
