The day of ignoring or being embarrassed of mental health conditions is behind us. The demands and stresses associated with a career in aviation can be significant. As with many medical conditions, early recognition and treatment can prevent complicated or debilitating outcomes. At the Center for Aviation Medicine, we have vast experience supporting airmen with some of these diagnoses by facilitating quality diagnostics, effective therapies, including the use of psychotropic medications like SSRIs, while minimizing downtime, protecting careers, and guiding you through the disclosure process. Contact us for help to formulate a plan customized to your specific needs.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been a focus area at the Center for Aviation Medicine for more than 20 years. We frequently call upon this basis of experience to ensure the shortest and most effective pathway to certification. Recently, the FAA Aeromedical Certification Division formulated a fast track for those individuals diagnosed early in life who have been off medication and do not manifest symptoms. Having successfully assisted more airmen with this diagnosis than most practices, we are poised to guide you through the process to certification.
