430 ILCS 65/1.1 said:

"Patient" means:

...

(2) a person who voluntarily or involuntarily receives mental health treatment as an out-patient or is otherwise provided services by a public or private mental health facility, and who poses a clear and present danger to himself, herself, or to others.

 

If the therapist practices at a hospital or other facility, "someone" might have to prove to the ISP that he's not crazy. As long as the treatment doesn't get reported to the Dept of Human Services (which includes if Medicare/Medicaid/VA pays, too, I believe), I suspect he'd be okay.

 

The danger isn't limited to being admitted as an in-patient. IMO it's a stupid law that just makes people avoid treatment.
