Not a problem.

i have a technical question for you.

Are pilots permitted to be on flight status
while using psych-tropic drugs e.g. SSRIs

This pilot definitely sounds bipolar.
I dont buy for 1 second that this was his first crazy incident. He had to do this before.

The list of drugs a pilot can take and fly is a pretty short list. If you did a web search with words like FAA flight surgeon approved medications you could see what I mean.

Short answer: If your sick, don’t fly. That would be true of a private pilot or a pilot flying for hire.

Psych-tropic drugs? No way. A diagnosis of mental illness and you can kiss your medical certificate good bye for a long time.
