Danger is that many counselors are spring-loaded to throw down an anxiety/depression diagnosis, slap you on the ass, and send you out the chute with a prozac scrip in hand. That will take years to un-foock with the FAA...

Even just doing a mental-health office visit will likely require follow-up paperwork and maybe additional, costly mental health screening.

Obviously if you really need help, get it. But if you're just a little stressed or down in the dumps, try exercise (lots of cardio) and diet. And lay off the booze for a while.
