Lufthansa execs met with members and visited the site. The Parent Company of germanwings. The company says it knew six years ago Andreas Lubitz suffered from severe depression saying lubitz wrote this email in 2009 to the Flight Training school in order to resume training after dropping out. The statement doesnt address how the company followed up with lubitz though. All 150 people onboard that plane died in the crash. So the question is dr. Winer, should someone suffering from severe depression be taken off the job in a job where a spurn responsible for others safety . They should but the reason is this is. Im not worried about Something Like what happened with the airlines happening again necessarily. The problem is that when somebody is severely depressed, theyre also having problems with impaired sleep, impaired concentration, impaired memory. Their motor functioning is slowed down. So all of those types of things, i think, make them vulnerable or at risk of getting in an accident and having problems. So thats really the reason i think they should be taken off the job. Temporarily. I do not think that a history of severe depression or severe depression that has been treated should necessarily be a reason for somebody to not get their job back once theyre treated. Thats a good point. Is there any way for an employer to test or discern a persons mental stability . You know there really isnt. When youre in the Mental Health field youre relying on the reporting from the person that youre trying to help. So if somebody is committed to not share with you the fact that theyre having sad mood suicidal thoughts and cant sleep, youre not going to be able to just get that information by just you know looking at them. Youre going to need input from them. But its not really that different than other fields of medicine, because if somebody has chronic pain or chronic migraines or also is having sleep problems you are not going to know that as a primary care doctor either unless they report that. So its not really unique to psychiatry. And were going to have more from doctor weiner at 11 45 on the connection between depression and suicide.
