I wonder if he was depressed because he had recently converted to Islam, or converted to Islam because he was depressed. (Going by the earlier German reports.)
Did you see this post on FR earlier today?
Some of the comments are interesting to read. A few among us assume, to quickly, that everything we read on the ‘net is fact, not agenda.

You do realize that the "earlier German reports" was just one "report," on some guy's personal blog, and was pure speculation. Worse, it was speculation based on nothing more than that the co-pilot had spent some time in Bremen, where there is apparently a radical mosque. But, guess what else is in Bremen? Lufthansa's flight training center! So, of course the guy spent time there.
I think he was depressed and converted to Islam too. He planned his takeover of the airline, scrubbed his place of all references to his Islamic ties and made sure it would only be tied to his psychological problems. I stand by my ISSIS theory.
Narcissists like Lubitz have a way of blame shifting. Just look at the Narcissist in Chief.
Just heard on the White House Black Box:
Zer0: “Michelle, you’re driving me nuts! I can’t satisfy you in everything I do!” (Screaming in the background) Didn’t I give you all the hot dogs, with pork, and all the trimmings on Airforce One? Hell, I even booked you on another flight that time! You even had extra lobster in case you needed lobster! Blame it on the chef!
Michelle: (Screaming) That fat chef you gave me ate all of my lobster! (expletive) When I asked for hotdogs, he brought me only two hotdogs with only mustard! Mustard! (expletive) I wanted red onion, Cabot Pepper Jack Cheese and sour cream on them! (expletive)
Zer0: (expletive) “Since you wanted that separate plane, they must have stocked my Air Force Two’s refrigerator with all that crap! For me, I’ll take hotdog with mustard every time! (things hitting walls) Oooch! Aaach! Michelle, put that down, it’s the bust of Frank!”
Michelle: “Crap? With all that “crap” on you, even you look good enough to eat! Come here, I’m starving!
Zer0: “Blame it on Frank, baby!”
(I needed the comic relief—/sarc.
He’s been a nutball a long time and the airline seemingly ignored it. Who quits free airline flight training to become a flight attendant? Bizarre.
