Crew 86 is right it hard to know what mental illness is like unless
you have lived with it. My brother went from a happy chap travelling
the world, to a wreck with in a month of coming back from Hawaii. He tried to
kill himself, became alcoholic, paranoid, spent time in K2. It's hard to imagine
what goes on in their head when they are suffering from a mental illness. He eventually passed
away in 2001 from a burst appendix of all things.
