Mental health could be the thing quietly grounding more pilots than any mechanical failure ever will, and almost nobody's talking about it. I sat down with two flight surgeons turned AMEs, Dr. Rocky "Apollo" Jedick and Dr. Pete Sipos, to break down the real numbers on pilot mental health, why the community has a saying "if you aren't lying, you aren't flying" and what's actually changing in FAA policy right now. We get into ADHD, the $5k psych evals, grief, postpartum depression, and whether you can ever really talk to an AME off the record. Buckle up.
