Abstract
- Psychiatric problems in cabin and cockpit crews are one of the main causes of their medical disqualification. Fear of flying is the primary psychiatric problem, which is a clinical manifestation of diverse anxiety disorders such as specific phobia, post-traumatic stress disorder and somatoform disorder. They are under-diagnosed and under-treated due to the social stigma and crews' avoidance of notice. We should pay attention to their psychiatric problems. Especially the prevention and treatment program for crews' psychiatric disorders should be established.
