Shouldn't pilots, as a matter of course, have to undergo regular emotional checkips to ensure they're emotionally stable?

Painfully, as I understand it, it is the other way around. Pilots can’t see psychiatrists/therapists because if they get diagnosed with anything they lose their license.
Is there a special insurance to protect income for pilots in case they are diagnosed for mental health?

Similar to how surgeons can get their hands ensured. (Not sure if this surgeon piece is even true, or just an idea that goes around)

That's really harsh.
