The hardest part for pilots is admitting you have a problem because once you do your medical is invalid and you’re unfit to fly. Another issue for seeking help is that most pilots are type A personalities and are very goal oriented and think they can solve the problems themselves without seeking help when it’s definitely needed.

The FAA does allow you to fly while taking some depression medications but there is quite a bit of work required between your regular doctor and your FAA doctor to be able to hold a valid medical certificate.

I’m grateful that the airline I work for offers many great programs that offer the help we need when dealing with life’s problems.
