“Andreas Lubitz was deemed “unsuitable for flight duties” for a period of time during his training with Lufthansa and was receiving regular treatment for depression, sources have claimed, as investigators focus their inquiry on his personal life and background.
The German tabloid Bild quoted sources as claiming Lubitz received psychiatric treatment for one and a half years while in flight school, and was forced to repeat some classes because of a struggle with depression.
It said he had received specific and regular medical treatment ever since he suffered a serious depressive episode in 2009.”
