Hello,
I’m in the process of renewing my 1st class medical so I can continue my flight training. Recently, while paying a medical bill I was scrolling through and few things and noticed a line that says “Adjustment Disorder with Anxious Mood”. This is something that had been completely unknown to me.
For a little background, a few years ago I started having strange digestive symptoms. I started looking a few things up and came across a few scary possibilities. At my next doctors appointment, my doctor told me he thinks some of my symptoms may be being caused by some anxiety and worrying. Hence, the Adjustment disorder with anxious mood. I have never seen a mental health professional, nor have I been medicated or treated in any way.
I have passed two 1st class medicals since this was put on my record however I never checked the previous mental health issue box because I genuinely did not think I had any. Is this adjustment disorder with anxious mood considered a mental health issue diagnosis? If so, how should I proceed? Is the FAA understanding of honest mistakes such as this?
Thank you,
