This video discusses the problem regarding the way FAA treats mental health from the perspective of a pilot who isn't allowed to fly anymore due to temporary complications caused by an IUD.

So you go to the doctor to get a medical license so you can fly an airplane. The doctor asks if you have any physical issues, you say no. Then he proceeds to ask you about your sex life. And not just a single yes or no question, he goes into great detail asking question upon question.

This is seriously fucked up, a doctor could lose their license where I live asking stuff like that. Like my man you are supposed to see if someone is medically fit to fly, not if they live up to some standard of how women are supposed to behave from the 1800s.

The whole don't seek mental healthcare ever or you'll lose your license is also just crazy. I think Mentour Pilot made some videos about that as well.

Iirc this one featured mental health issues among pilots https://youtu.be/988j2-4CdgM
