Maybe has been asked before...Is prescription by licensed physician of an anti-depressant an automatic disqualifier for obtaining a CHL? Or does it depend on the diagnosis?

It's a stand alone question, but I'll give a little background on what got me thinking about it. Apparently the active ingredient in Chantix (the stop smoking drug) is the same as the anti-depressant Wellbutrin...

Also is a diagnosis of depression an automatic disqualifier?

Wellbutrin was often prescribed to help stop smoking before Chantix hit the market

No, it is not. But, it could cause a delay in your process if the application has to go to the medical review board.
