This wasn't an AME.

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.

My philosophy is to not go to doctors unless something is obviously broken
(i.e. bone sticking through the skin, etc)... The problem with going to the
doctor is that you find out things that you really don't want to know...

At one time that was the "manly Marine" thing to do, but do you have
grandchildren? If so, you are doing them a great disservice by not going
routinely and at least getting your PSA tested regularly for prostate
cancer, which has no outward symptoms until it's too late.

Famous people who died of prostate cancer that may possibly have been
treated had the cancer been caught early enough:

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.

Once again, Mxsm shows that he is clueless. What is he now, 0 out of 100?

Sheesh!

What *I* think is funny is that he writes as if every word out of his
mouth is gospel.

I mean, seriously, how is a sim player qualified to give anyone advice
on their medical? He gave very dangerous information and I can only
hope that no inexperienced student pilot believes his advice.

You think it's a good idea for a student pilot to take his advice? It's
irresponsible to put information out there like that.
