I'd be worried if any pilot was on anti-depressants, many of which have been associated with quite a few youth-perpetrated killings. I've heard (ok, "read"...) that the side-effects can be permanantly mind-altering for some people.
A scary thought !

dont be to quick to blame the drugs, some of them have really nasty side effects and others have worse things if you develop a dependancy on them and stop them but the depression itself, if it hits you hard enough and long enough the depression it self will permanently change you.

so many things have the ability to be a trigger some of them stupidly minor, (for exampletheres a forum member whose user name reminds me of how bad I got ever time I read it, its not the person, its not the posts its just the word that is the name and If I'm down in a trough it hits hard its like cracking a dam and theres nothing you can do till the torrent subsides then you have to fight your way through rebuild and the clean up) and one minute you can be standing there solid as a rock the next you've got the mental integrity of a jelly fish, sometimes you just stop, sometimes you'll loose track of everything and in the want to get back to being what you remember yourself being you just do something. Sometimes that something can be the worst thing to be doing in that situation but its all you can think of to do and you dont realise how bad your making things. I'f your lucky you'll have a friend on hand who'll tell you and help you, if your lucky you'll pop out of it yourself sometimes you just get in a loop and do the same thing over and over.

If you're lucky it doesnt happen while you're doing something that's going to kill you or your friends

IF you're not.............

I can easilly see how it happened if the co-pilot had had depression, the pilot goes out for a drink, stretch his legs the security door closes behind him the co pilot is alone, he hears a vocie on the radio that sounds like the person he lost he sticks into a fuge, he reacts to something instinctively and then stalls himself.

I've done it, I was vaccuming, the dads4kids add came on the kids voice that sounds like alex's said dad and the next thing I knew it was dark outside the breaker on the powerboard let go. I dont know how long it takes for one of those cheaper vacuum cleaners to get so hot it blows a circuit breaker.

I feel sorry for those who lost their lives on the plane, I feel worse for those who are about to go through this because of it.

I can tell you Aropax was a battle to get off and had some horrifying effects and withdrawal effects that bigpharma don't want to admit to.
