It was a ‘psychiatrist’ in the anecdote, not a ‘psychologist’. Two similar but very different things. I think the psychiatrist is the one that shows you dirty pictures. (that is not a cue to tell us everything you know about mental health 43”, that is me being light-hearted about a serious subject.)
In short the Psychologist might be the start of your journey, or the Psychiatrist is more specialized in you're issue, so you get triaged to them even though it's a more minor problem. Mental health professionals have been in high demand especially since covid, so there is a chance you might be handled by a whoever is available at a clinic. Again CASA assumptions that just because you see a psychiatrist means that its an extreme disorder equaling suicidal behavior is the issue.

​​​​​​​Never tell CASA AVMED ANYTHING! If it can't be discovered in the actual Medical with the DAME it never happened.
Very bad advice as in the modern climate your so called mates will dob you in at some point when symptoms manifest and then you'll be 'coming out' on CASA's terms not yours. Or worse it manifests on a flight and somebody is injured and you will end up being sued, which will go down the lines that you were aware of your issue, and were not legally fit to operate, so all insurance and legal coverage is null and void and you end up the rest of your days paying off somebody else.
