Thread: Licensing and mental illness

I've seen plenty... and I agree that people must be sick/desolate when they do this.

It can be flippant to just say, we need to be open about stuff.... pride and shame, expectations and even occupational requirements often conspire against those who would like to be, or might know that they need to be...

Try being a pilot and admitting depression aye.. or not wanting to lose your firearms license... the thought of those sort of losses isn't going to help with the issues

Its hard to know how to realistically bridge these gaps with people.... heck I don't even know how to do that for myself... how am I going to know how to identify and help another individuals private trauma?
