Three hots and a cot

I think it's very bizarre that mental health professionals would want to withhold treatment from some one who asks for it, but would want to shove treatment down the throat of some one who doesn't want it. It's such a Catch-22.

In the US, malingering, or whatever the DSM now calls it, is a recognized mental illness. Therefore, psychiatry can bill for it. However, this guy seems to be after three hots and a cot. If he violates his ASBO, I guess he'll get his way.
