I have to agree with Bob here

someone I know personally was denied a medical
because he and his wife had gone to counseling
to see if they could save their marriage

(there was no physical abuse involved on either's part)

he was denied under that "any mental or emotional problem"
part of the med standards

possibly the mistake they made was in going to a 
psychiatrist for the counseling, rather than a nonmedical
person  --  they had HMO coverage so that's what
they chose to use

he appealed the revocation but the denial was upheld,
he will never be able to get a medical again
(it's a lifetime denial on those grounds, the Feds apparently
don't believe mental or emotional problems ever get better)

if he wants to fly, he will have to stick with ultralights,
sailplanes, balloons; fly dual only; or fly illegally

the funny part of this was:  the nonpilot was given a Rx for
psychoactive medicines and was hospitalized; the
pilot chose to go to counseling with her because he loved her
and wanted to help  --  the counselor told him there was
nothing wrong with him
