Does he go to any type of therapy? I have a friend that has schizophrenia and he has to go see a therapist once a month.
I know some of things they ask is how is he feeling, is he hearing voices (which I know not everyone with a mental illness has), etc. I know that someone has dealt with a mental illness knows how to give the ‘correct’ answers to avoid suspicion. I know there’s issues with HIPAA about getting info from a professional, but it doesn’t keep you from providing info to a professional.
And I know I probably didn’t say anything you don’t already know.
He has in the past. He goes regularly to doc because he’s on meds. Whether he tells the truth I don’t know. Honestly he has so many problems anyone that wasn’t bipolar would be depressed.
