- sandworm101 8y agoThat the patient, on their own, does not want to treat. But when those disorders negatively impact their lives they become a clinical case that can be treated. Either some legal proceeding causes them to opt into treatment (ie to keep/win custody of a child) or those around the patient insist they seek help.
