[King of The Hill] Does Bill Dauterive get treatment? I hope he does. I understand the series isn't very arc based. It's quite episodic... So knowing that there isn't any real closure on how the characters are doing after the series end. What are the theories on Bill, his mental health and life?

I've just finished the episode Pretty, Pretty Dresses where he experiences extreme dissociation, identifies himself as his ex wife and gets shit on by most of his neighbors. It's sad stuff. Guy needs help, his friends made sure he didn't *die* but I wonder how much progress to health he really ended up making after Hank helped snap him out of the episode.

He really is a sad sack sort of character. I laugh along when he spills pizza all over himself or falls into the lake. But... I do hope he gets help. So, using the clues given within the series. Does he get the help he needs?

Bill checked himself into a mental hospital once during the series.  Boomhauer had gotten sucked into a sewer after falling asleep while floating on an innertube down a river, then popped up in Houston covered in algae and wearing a tiger-stripe speedo.  This combined with the locals (including a cop who thought he was being threatened) not understanding him resulted in him getting committed for 72 hours.  Boomhauer tried to get Dale to bust him out early,  but Dale just ended up getting himself stuck with him.  They both called Bill, but he realized he *needed* to be there and checked in without helping them escape.

Eventually, they called Hank, who explained the situation: by the time he got there, Boomhauer had already stayed the requisite amount of time and was not deemed to be a threat to himself or others, Dale wasn't supposed to be there at all (but the doctor recommended he keep taking the meds he was given, anyway), and while Bill was free to leave at any time he wanted, his insurance wouldn't cover his stay (so he was quickly kicked out with the others).
