There lies the problem, if a commercial pilot was depressed but didn't
want to lose his job he would most likely continue flying depressed and
not tell anyone.

Or, "self medicate."

Smoking?

Alcohol is a good example.

Or both, nicotine has a history of self-medicating depressions.

I hesitate to add to this discussion because I'm not an instructor,
just a rather slow student who's not qualified to give advice that
might kill someone.
