Mental health in aviation is a major concern among airlines, regulators, and passengers. This topic gained more attention after the 2015 Germanwings crash, which was deliberately caused by the plane's copilot. Little data exists on mental health in aviation, but steps to gather relevant information and provide better solutions are underway.
It should be mentioned that while much of the conversation about mental health in aviation is centered around pilots, this issue extends to other occupations in aviation.[1]
