There is a problem of Psych Ward Paradox.

How would a normal, mentally healthy, person react to suddently being placed into psych ward? Like a nut case they will. That's the healthy reaction.

Therefore, on putting a person into psych ward (or otherwise assuming they are mentally ill), we can't deduct anything useful from their reaction, which is expected.
