Good Afternoon,
Back in February of 2019 I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. I went on defeated thinking that this wasnt the condition and I realized that after being on meds I was completely fine.

I consulted with Dr. Chien late last year for guidance on how to approach my medical history of having been on antidepressants for a number of years. Dr. Chien was incredibly helpful and referred me to a HIMS AME to work with. The HIMS AME gave me names of two FAA aware/approved psychiatrists to get an psychiatric evaluation done. I had the psychiatric evaluation completed in mid-June and the report was finalized a couple of weeks ago. Just this morning, I had my medical exam with the HIMS AME who will process my application to the FAA within a day or two. I started this process in late January so it's taken several months, but I've done all that I can and now it's a matter of waiting on the FAA for a response. My AME said it will take at least a couple of months before I should expect to receive a response from the FAA. The psychiatric evaluation cost $2,400. The medical exam by the HIMS AME cost $300. My mindset throughout the process has been to be patient and stick with it. Today, I'm a big step closer. Good luck to you!
