You're not wrong, but the issue one runs into is that if that's the approach the FAA takes to solving the issue, pilots will react predictably: they'll self-defend their careers and be extremely untruthful in mental health analysis screenings. So, "problem solved" as long as nobody believes anything self-reported in those screenings isn't lies-on-lies.

It pretty much is the approach the FAA takes. It's extremely difficult to get a private pilot's license if you have a history of ADHD, never mind more severe mental illness, never mind again a commercial license.
