There's also a huge issue in the aviation industry at least in the US where pilots do not disclose mental health concerns because it results in an immediate grounding - which means loss of pay.

Instructors are often also new pilots who use teaching to build up flight hours until they can land a carrier job, and also have a boatload of debt from their training. So, they're effectively stuck with trying to just deal with it, or face bankruptcy.

Xyla Foxlin is a youtuber and amateur pilot who had faced a mental health issue and was grounded for quite some time, she has a few videos talking about it.
