It is not unusual for whistleblowers to be referred for medical, psychiatric or psychological assessment as a condition of continued employment. When this happens the health professional making the assessment is likely see the whistleblower's employer as the client, rather than the whistleblower, and this might influence the outcome of the assessment. If a whistleblower's beliefs about perceived malpractice in an organisation are not demonstrably shared by other people these beliefs could easily be interpreted by a doctor or psychiatrist as delusions or disordered thoughts and thus form the basis for a diagnosis of mental illness.
