That is a good reason to forever hide your mental illnesses, which mean they will never get treated. Stupid policy.

- gavinhoward 3y agoI agree. I was even willing to agree to regular appointments with a therapist who could ground me at any time for any reason. But no. I was punished for being honest.
- alex_lav 3y agoWell...the honesty and potentially the vaguely threatening and somewhat religious-extremist nature of your posts, right?
- gavinhoward 3y agoRead the rest of the thread. My beliefs include strong loyalty to the current government. See D&C 134:5.
- alex_lav 3y agoI understand that, but that fact does not change the existence of the other content or its ability to be misperceived or taken out of context.
- gavinhoward 3y agoThere was nothing threatening about what I said, at least not intended. That is the entire point of everything else I wrote in this thread. Yes, I worded things very poorly. I'm famous for doing that. But I attempted to fix those problems after people have criticized me in this thread.
- insomagent 3y agoYou took it like a champ, dude, and I mean that in full sincerity. Best of luck on your journey to the sky.
- carl_dr 3y agoI read this last week, which is very relevant : https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/the-madness-in-our-methods-the-crash-of-germanwings-flight-9525-and-our-broken-aeromedical-system-5b95abd4fe6d https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/the-madness-in-our-metho... The stuff about mental health starts about half way through, the first half is recounting the incident.
- klardotsh 3y agoI know someone going through flight school right now who largely reached the same conclusion: that soon, we'll have next to no inbound new pilots, because Gen Z and Alpha are diagnosed with various mental conditions at high enough rates (in hopes of getting treated, which we should be encouraging) that FAA medicals will become less and less likely. The FAA needs to get its stuff together in this regard, and quickly.
- LoganDark 3y agoI was diagnosed with ADHD because I asked my doctor after someone on the internet spotted some symptoms and told me that ADHD medication might help. I don't think it's specifically the newer generations but rather just the present times of having access to information and opinions through the internet. It's not just trendy to have a mental disorder, it's just people are learning about them who otherwise wouldn't have.
