    Not familiar at all with UK law, but would it have been within the judge’s power to order a psychometric evaluation and you know possibly like a weeklong hospital stay with continued weekly visits to a psychiatrist?

      Ah yes every obnoxious and self absorbed person or difficult coworker on earth must be mentally ill.

      Not every shitty character trait can be fixed like this, or is even worthy of fixing. Sometimes people are just assholes.

      It usually doesn’t yield any good results to force a person to visit a psychiatrist.

      Unless, of course, they are having a psychosis and need to be medicated right now.
