obsessive compulsive disorder controlled by an approved SSRI

hey Dr. B: can this be certificated

I'm not Dr. B, but the FAA says:

The applicant has one of the following diagnoses:

• Major depressive disorder (mild to moderate) either single episode or recurrent episode
• Dysthymic disorder
• Adjustment disorder with depressed mood
• Any non-depression related condition for which the SSRI is used

Looks like the last one would encompass that.

I agree and a HIMS shrink confirmed! thanks.

I have two successes. But both of them had gone long term with demonstrable good business success so theirs wasn't terribly severe, e.g, they could function albeit less well without their SSRI.

IMO AAM 200 really hates this one. It's related to PTSD and anxiety disorders so only the very most stable an functional need apply. They will consider- but the candidate has to be really on the brink of being called OCD personality (axis 2).

Not being on the original list merely means they can at their option decline based on the 2010 publication.
