Aviate Towards Mental Health
Flying through the sky is an amazing experience. Doing that with passengers onboard is a task of responsibility.
The common issues faced by aviators:
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Potentially traumatic events, accidents during the take off and landing, technical issues are causes of trauma among aviators. The trauma response usually affects the pilots confidence to fly again. They begin questioning their own abilities. In case of surviving a fatal accident, they go through extreme survivor’s guilt.

FAQs
An airline pilot can be an extremely stressful job due to the workload, responsibilities and safety of the thousands of passengers they transport around the world. Chronic levels of stress can negatively impact their health, job performance and cognitive functioning.
Pilots suffer from anxiety and depression just as the rest of the population does. But they seem to be even less likely than those in other careers to seek support and treatment.
