Mental Health with Keith Roxo of Wingman Med


Listen Later

In this episode, Adam Uhan and Dr. Keith Rockso delve into the crucial topic of pilot mental health, discussing FAA misconceptions, insurance impacts, and the benefits of Direct Primary Care. They navigate the FAA medical process for pilots with past mental health conditions or ADHD history, and explore FAA's stance on safety, mental health, and clinical trials.

Today’s guest is once again Dr. Keith Roxo of Wingman Med. He has been on the show before, but today we are talking specifically about pilot mental health. We discuss how the FAA views mental health and some of the pitfalls related to insurance and unraveling childhood diagnoses and PTSD.
