Rick, you strike me as the kind of guy that if you saw a pilot reading a book on how to combat anxiety, you'd turn them in for not being able to exercise their medical.
Your opinion on this issue is exactly why pilots are so afraid of seeing therapists. You're the type who puts the fear in pilots that the only doc they see is their AME once or twice a year and that's it.
I strongly encourage you to delete your posts. Your type of thinking is not only dangerous, but toxic to our profession.
