More to the point, any history of mental illness or treatment at any point in your life can cause you to be arbitrarily grounded in the future, at which point you have to go through an opaque government process that is months long and has no real guidelines as to how to prove yourself. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence indicating that pilots will seek treatment under false names, or, worse, self medicate with alcohol for what would otherwise be treatable and minor conditions. When I got my medical I was coached by my instructor to volunteer absolutely no information that wasn’t asked. It was strongly hinted that I should not recall ever having been treated or diagnosed with any mental condition.
