Faking a mental illness to escape prison
A new law in the Assembly Bill 1810 was passed, and this allows those who commit any sorts of crime to evade serving prison time if they are diagnosed with a mental disorder during trial. The defendant will then be assessed and receive counselling, and if a mental disorder is confirmed, his crime record would be cleared. The only condition in this bill is that the diversion from prison has to be less than 2 years and this allows criminals who commit severe crimes such as mass murders to still be imprisoned if their treatment exceeds 2 years.

Labeling someone with depression, or OCD, or any other mental disorder emphasizes on the symptoms, and disregards the normal traits of the person.
