It's also an issue that pilots won't seek help for mental illness in fear of being grounded. The Youtuber Xyla Foxlin had her medical revoked because she had a temporary issue after changing birth control.
It would be weird if it takes a comedian to change the FAA's policies on mental health.

Not just the FAA. Same issues amongst pilots in here with Transport Canada and their medicals.
