Given that he's way braver than I'll ever be, I was glad to see he had found something to help him live his life.

My guess is that his candidness was a result of people judging whether he needed it or not.

Your story about the fireman suffering from anxiety reinforces my original post regarding the degree to which those who “work the system” make it difficult for those who truly need and deserve support. The cheaters make many people suspicious, which is a real shame.
