Lubitz, who is thought to have deliberately crashed Germanwings flight 9525 into the French alps this week, reportedly hid his illness from employers, according to the BBC.
"The current preliminary assessment [is] that the deceased hid his illness from his employer and colleagues," the German prosecutor said.
Prosecutors found no evidence of political or religious motivations in the crash.
The crash killed all 150 people on board the plane.
German tabloid Bild reported on Friday that Lubitz received psychiatric treatment for a "serious depressive episode" six years ago and was having relationship troubles with his girlfriend before the crash.
