Paris Hilton Considered Mentally Unstable by Newly Rich Psychiatrist

Seeing actual Jayden James photos? Shocking.

Learning that Paris Hilton doesn't have a real medical disorder? Not remotely surprising.

TMZ has learned that the condition that enabled Hilton to be released very early from prison was purely psychological - and it was diagnosed by a psychiatrist that has invented mental problems for the heiress in the past.

Indeed, Charles Sophy visited Hilton in jail each of the last two days. We're told after Sophy's visit yesterday, word was passed to the sheriff that Hilton's mental state was more fragile than the brittle bones of friend Nicole Richie.

So it bears repeating: The reason for releasing Paris Hilton from jail had nothing to do with any physical issue. It was purely in her head.

But, wait, there's more absurdity! Last month, on the eve of a trial in which Hilton was accused of slandering socialite Zeta Graph, Dr. Sophy told the judge that Hilton was "emotionally distraught and traumatized" over her jail sentence, which prevented her from participating in a meaningful defense.

That trial was put on hold until August, just enough time to Sophy's checks from the Hiltons to clear, we're sure.

This guy is shadier than Spencer Pratt and Ray J put together.
