I've said before that things like marriage counseling are not an issue and don't have to be reported.

That applies to personal therapy as noted above, right up until a diagnosis happens. Everything I said above was in the context of getting help for depression/anxiety stuff... in that case it doesn't matter what flavor of provider, if the verdict is a mental health issue that counts as far as the FAA is concerned. You need to self-ground and report it to the FAA on your next medical. Legally.

If you go talk to somebody about relationships, stress management, or daddy issues that's fine. But if it bleeds over into anxiety/depression, then you quickly lose the high ground. I mention that because in this day and age, providers are spring-loaded to SSRIs (rightly or wrongly, IDK).

And I can assure you, if any provider who's licensed to practice anything in your state says that you have a mental health condition, that's a diagnosis for the FAA. Maybe you can put the toothpaste back in the tube, but you have to deal with it one way or another.

There's a lot of info available. If you need help, get it asap. If you're maybe a little down in the dumps, start googling. Decent chance you can address it on your own, once you understand what's going on and do some research. If that doesn't work, get help.
