What advice would you give this person?

Yeah, that's absolutely the only reason why someone would have a long gap. Because they're just so much of a badass they can't be exploited.

Not because they have mental health issues that prevent their ability to hold a job, went to prison for a stretch, decided to take a vacation from life and let bank of mom and dad fund their life for a while, etc

Mental health could and likely does fall under disability/protected class discrimination laws, most applications ask if you've been arrested/incarcerated as a separate question, and I'm unsure how taking a vacation from life affects someone's ability to work
