The four-star general in charge of Air Mobility Command has announced that he has an upcoming mental health appointment to let service members know that seeking care is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Air Force Gen. Mike Minihan recently shared on social media that his appointment is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Tuesday. Minihan tweeted a photo of his calendar along with the words: “Warrior heart. No stigma.”

“I’m only holding myself accountable to the same standards I expect from the amazing airmen and families that surround me,” Minihan told Task & Purpose on Monday. “Mental health is simply health. There can be no stigma in my headquarters, command, or family. Warrior Heart is leadership. Warrior Heart is fine tuning mind, body, and craft to ensure individual and team readiness. It’s a wingman and warfighting imperative necessary to win.”

Nice theater production to try and encourage troubled military to seek help, not suicide.

Mental health checkups should be as routine as physical checkups.  In this regard there are but two types of people:  those who know they have some mental quirks, and those who are ignorant of their mental quirks.  The former are more trustworthy than the latter.

That being said, not all mental health "professionals" are the same - it is, unfortunately, way too easy to get a social "sciences" credential and then start peddling your perverse political fantasies under the guise of mental health; the trannie fetish being case in point.

Since my wife's business is insurance billing she has and has had numerous psych professionals as clients and I can say without a doubt that a large percentage of them are mentally worse off than the majority of their clients. In layman's terms, they are batshit crazy!
