Last I knew all antidepressants were immediately disqualifying for any
class of medical certificate. Is this still the case?

To my knowledge, yes. The FAA has a bug up it's ass about anything remotely
psychoactive.

What is the process
for re-obtaining the medical certificate after treatment is completed?
What kinds of things is the FAA looking for? Are there certain
antidepressants that they are more lenient on than others (after
treatment)?

Mostly they want a statement from the treating doctors that the medication
is no longer required. They want a statement that you've been off for 90
days and don't need them anymore. Depending on the conditions that
caused you to need them to begin with, they may require additional
Psychiatric/Psycological tests.

It's excruciatingly slow to work through the FAA bureaucracy on this (only
because the medical certification office is wallowing in disorganized paper
pushing and it's not getting any better). However, the process is rather
straight forward and other than time and expense usually is resolved in
favor of the pilot.
