Default FAA Medical Question

There's a long list of diagnoses that matter a great deal to the FAA. Any of
them require that certification be differed and specific protocols be followed
to grant a certification or special issuance.

For example, if you've been diagnosed with psychosis or depression, you have
a problem on that basis alone--numbers don't matter (nor are numbers used with
respect to psychosis or depression).
