In 2012 I was hospitalized about every month. I was so stressed out from my crappy living arrangement not to mention the crushing depression. My anxiety pulled me off the road as a over the road trucker. It seems every time I was admitted I saw the same people in there going thru detox as well as fibbing about what is going on. I don't want to Call them fakes because up wasn't in there shoes. I will say I went thru a ton of med cocktails and different diagnosis. I had 2 doctors say I was faking my symptoms, and to an extent at those times I was, my living
situation was horrible and the hospital was like a candy land compared to home. However I ended up in Residential Treatment for Adults (RTFA) and met a doctor that I really trusted and unloaded on her.

My psychiatric record was 13 inches thick. When I applied for SSDI the adjudicator said she only looked at the first 100 pages or so before approving my disability. However I am getting better and now working with ticket to work.

I've seen alot of people in various facilities that are just there to use the system. They even admit it if you ask them directly. Sad. Just my experience.
