FAA expert panel recommends pilots and air traffic controllers no longer disclose therapy sessions and reconsiders policy on ADHD treatment.

An expert panel appointed by the FAA recommends pilots and air traffic controllers no longer disclose talk therapy sessions, stating the requirement leads to healthcare avoidance and non-disclosure. The panel also suggests the FAA reconsider its policy on barring pilots or controllers receiving treatment for ADHD or taking ADHD medication. The FAA is reviewing the recommendations, aiming to break down barriers preventing pilots and air traffic controllers from reporting mental health issues.
