GERMAN prosecutors say the co-pilot of the Germanwings passenger plane that crashed in the French Alps had received therapy for suicidal tendencies.
Dusseldorf prosecutors say that Andreas Lubitz received psychotherapy "with a note about suicidal tendencies" for several years before becoming a pilot.
"He was being treated by a psychotherapist for what is documented as being suicidal tendencies at that time," German state prosecutor Christoph Kumpa said.
He said there had also been several visits to doctors right up until the time of the crash but these did not involve suicidal tendencies.
No suicide note "or anything like that" was found in searches of Lubitz's German residences, Kumpa said.
"There was also nothing in his personal, family or professional background to provide any hints "about his motivation".
He also said that Lubitz had not been suffering from any "medical illness".
Prosecutors' spokesman Ralf Herrenbrueck said Monday that investigators have found no indication of a motive so far as to why Lubitz crashed the plane, nor any sign of a physical illness.
"We found no indications of co-pilot's motive for crashing Germanwings plane."
All 150 people on board died in the crash.

Details are emerging about Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz who 'intentionally' crashed the plane.
European investigators have been focusing on the psychological state of the 27-year-old German co-pilot who prosecutors say deliberately flew Germanwings Flight 9525 into a mountain, a French police official said.
Returning from a meeting with his counterparts in Germany, judicial police investigator Jean-Pierre Michel told The Associated Press that authorities want to find out "what could have destabilised Andreas Lubitz or driven him to such an act".
Flight 9525 last week crashed into a French Alps mountain near Le Vernet en route from Barcelona, Spain, to Dusseldorf, Germany.
"To have carried out such an act, it's clearly psychological," Michel said.

Authorities are trying to understand what made Lubitz lock his captain out of the cockpit and ignore his pleas to open the door before manually ordering the plane to descend on what should have been a routine flight. To that end, they are speaking with people who knew and worked with Lubitz — such as co-workers, his employer, his doctors.
At the remote mountain crash site itself, French authorities were building a road to facilitate access to the site.
In the south-eastern city of Marseille, Germanwings chief operating officer Oliver Wagner was meeting with victims' relatives. A total of 325 family members have come to France, he told reporters.

French officials have refused to comment on a report in Germany's Bild am Sontag on an alleged transcript of the cockpit voice recorder that had the captain shouting: "For God's sake, open the door!"
Brice Robin, a state prosecutor in the south-eastern French city of Marseille, has said none of the bodies recovered so far have been identified, denying German media reports that Lubitz's body had been found.
Tests on the body of the co-pilot may provide clues about any medical treatment he was receiving. German prosecutors said Friday that Lubitz was hiding an illness and sick notes from a doctor for the day of the crash from his employer.
Wagner recalled a meeting in Haltern, Germany, last week with the parents of 16 high school students who had died in the crash, saying it was "certainly the saddest day of my life."
"They asked 'Why our children?"' he said. "We don't understand what has happened and why it has happened."
