Not true, it's up to the AME to clear you as safe to fly in view of seeking treatment for depression and if you seek treatment for depression while holding a pilots license it grounds you until the AME reclears you, much like any other life threatening health conditions.

The fact that they treat pretty much any treatment of mental illness, no matter how long ago, as "probably actively suicidal and a danger to themself and others" is what I take issue with. And it's a tedious, time consuming, expensive process to try to get cleared. To the point where several flight instructors, and the chief pilot, have told me I should've just lied on the federal form. Because that's what everyone else does. But whatever, I have cheaper hobbies.
