If a disgruntled pilot requires professional mental health assistance then he or she should be given it in the same way this flight attendant should.

Sometimes I despair for those in the human race who show such intolerance for their fellow humans who so obviously need professional help.
In the U.S. we have had a alcohol diversion program for both pilots and flight attendants for many years. Lots of help and interventions. But, if they show up for work under the influence they are fired, period.

Same for mental health issues. Lots of options, but crashing or seriously compromising an aircraft isn't one of them.
