Allow the FAA to grant pilot certificates to those with Bipolar disorder if they are evaluated by a psychologist.

Many talented young aviators are denied the privilege of flying because of a diagnosis that generalizes and discriminates harshly. Mental illness is a spectrum and though it may impair the judgement of some, many are highly capable of making decisions. Many dream about flying as a young child, many have parents who fly. Many pilots that have certificates may have illnesses they never treated in fear of losing their career and passion. They deserve a chance to prove their competency without labels and judgmental popular opinion. Don't take our wings!
