Then see a doctor who is. I doubt that she will concur with this
armchair diagnosis of depression. Better yet, find an AME who is also
a psychiatrist, if such exist.


That is actually very bad advice to those pilots who value their medical
certificate. A real pilot knows not to place the responsibilities of
normal healthcare in the hands of the same doctor who signs one's medical
certificate.

He's giving medical advice now?

What you said cannot be made clear enough to people who do not know. DO
NOT use an AME as your normal doctor. NEVER. EVER.
