Tony is a psychiatrist, hates Jerry for personal reasons and wants to get him in trouble. How easy/difficult would it be for him to declare Jerry legally insane?

i assume you mean to get Jerry detained in hospital? very easily it happened to me. the doctor must satisfy himself that the patient would harm himself or others, and that you suffer from a mental disorder. i think if the nearest relative tollerates the doctor's decision and doesn't explicity oppose detention then it's fairly easy to get yourself sectioned because there's no such thing as mental illness.
they made the decision very lightly with me, and purely found grounds for detention on the basis that i SAID TOO MUCH. fuckers fucked up my dreams of holding public office

Or if Jerry witnessed a crime, his testimony wouldn't be taken into account in the court because he's legally insane so can't be believed.
etc.
