Comment on The FAA Has a Big Problem with Mental Health

So you go to the doctor to get a medical license so you can fly an airplane. The doctors 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 youtu.be/988j2-4CdgM
