There are different levels of mental health which ranges from people walking around aimlessly talking to themself, or for the more extreme where they do need to be locked up for fear of hurting themself or the public. Yes it's true anyone can say they have mental health problems, but the way it will actually be confirmed is by a mental health social worker doing a full assessment on that person. If the social worker confirms u have a mental health problem u will then be branded for the rest of ur life, and it will go on all ur records. So if ur mum wants to prove ur dad is lieing she can sayshe wants him to have a full psychic evaluation. Normal doctors cannot diagnose a person with mental health, and out of sheer laziness will instantlysay the symptoms a person has iseither stressed related or depression, then sign a prescription for happy pills. Thats why a lot of mental health people go untreated because no one bothered tocheck them properly.
