Unfortunately, despite all of the efforts of organisations like Beyond Blue and the objective evidence about mental illness, the facts are that it continues to be stigmatised. And in an environment in which telling AVMED anything these days can result in intervention, intrusion, restriction and a generally disproportionate response to the objective risks, I'm not surprised pilots withhold information from their DAME.
