No they are not... they are saying if he STAYED in his treatment he wouldn't be such a nutjob.. Steven was never cured, you can see that in the way he behaves.. it is not pride or childishness, he is still ill
That's just bad scriptwriting. It definitely helped a bit as all that shaking is gone and he is no longer obsessed with Cindy. How long's he supposed to remain locked up in a clinic? Even the doctor said to keep him there indefinitely is unethical. He'll always be a bit unstable but he is definitely better than he was before. I just think it is over the top in terms of scriptwriting to make him ill again. If they can't think of anything to do with a charecter they should give the charecter a break and other charecters more on screen time until they can think of a realiistic story.
