Is there specific information I need to take to my AME exam if I have a mental health condition treated with an anti-depressant?

For pilots being treated with an antidepressant, the FAA has specific guidelines regarding what information needs to be provided to the Aviation Medical Examiner (AME). For pilots looking for resources, the Airman Information - SSRI INITIAL Certification is a great starting point. It outlines the necessary steps you should take and includes the information you must provide to the FAA.
