That's a misquote. What was actually said was:
SINGH:“Hi Simon I saw Steve last night ... I’m going through some hard times at home and other things. I need to come and speak to you about some of them. I don’t know who to tell the story to. I’m going to a doctor about it. When can I come see you.”
SUPERVISOR SIMON TUTERU:“Talk this arvo. I will be in office.”
SINGH:“Ok but Steve saids (sic) I’m not fit to drive.”
TUTERU:“Steve is NOT a doctor.”
SINGH: “Ok thanks.”

If he had said he agreed with Steve's appraisal, if he'd put up even the slightest argument as to his (non)fitness to drive, the supervisor might have taken it more seriously (or not). But if someone is willing to wait til later to discuss, it wouldnt give me the impression they are desperate to deal with it.
It's easy to say in hindsight what the supervisor should have done, but 3 texts isnt an easy way to diagnose someone's mental state.
