Seems like job security to me. Move into PP and fill any empty slot with veterans begging to treatment to keep their SC.

Honestly, I have no problem with them requiring treatment (and compliance) to remain SC. Too many folks with SC and no record of any symptoms or treatment in their clinical record outside of compensation paperwork.

Hell, why not just make it official in DSM-6:

Service-Connection Deficit Disorder, Chronic, Severe, With Pseudo-Psychotic Features*

*"Doc...I see shadow people..."

Job security for sure. So you can spend your days working with people that don't want to be seen. Personally I'd rather not.
