My friend is interested in eventually getting a pilot's license.
However, at the moment she wants to go to therapy to address some mental health related issues. I think in order for insurance to cover it she needs to a diagnosis. Is this correct?
She's worried that a diagnosis going to keep her from getting a 3rd class medical. Or make it a big enough hassle and expense that it's impractical.
Are there particular diagnoses that are a problem and some that aren't? If so, is there some negotiation that can be done with a therapist to avoid a bad diagnosis?
Bottom line, how can she get the help she needs without getting flagged by the FAA as unfit to fly? (Yes, I know about sport pilot. That doesn't meet her flying goals.)
Help, please?
