The whole deal is that in psychology and psychiatry you have to follow certain rules to ensure the rights of the patient...you also rely on government funding to run most mental health hospitals which usually takes a back seat to "more important matters".....well there is a BIG reason that like 80% of homeless people are unmedicated/self medicating(with drugs and alcohol) schizophrenics....it's really bad in California, I think Santa Monica maybe where they have a big problem with that.


As for this kid....he was never detained against his will (which can be done but is hard to do). The policies in place at the University and for the state of Virgina made it difficult to do anything about him. He obviously needed medication and LOTS of therapy....and he probably would never have left the funny farm once he was put in but it would be for the best for everyone
i disagree that he was bipolar cause generally speaking the bipolar people i encountered and possibly myself lol tend to be really really freakin happy and then realy depressed. theres no signs yet that this kid was every really happy. also bipolar people tend to be real creative and talented in some artistic artform of expression hahaha i havent really seen that in him yet? that is interesting in the messiah complex you mentioned.

i remember going back to when i used to drink alcohol i felt bipolar like effects meaning obviously a good buzzzzzz would make you feel good, but the stress drama of work/school/girls etc would bring you down once again. thats one of the other reasons why i quit alcohol too.

there's different types of bipolar people. There's some cases where someone is either depressed or manic for weeks or months at a time and theres others (like what i used to have) when they can cycle between manic and depressive several times a day. Being manic doesn't nessesarily mean you are happy. When you are manic you have very high self esteem and being angry and irritated isnt that uncommon in this state. You get a god complex and feel that you can do anything because theres nothing in the world thats gonna stop you. It might seem to the person suffering from mania that they are in a good mood or they have good self-esteem but those around them who actually know them see it as them being an extremely cocky, arrogant, asshole with a highly inflated ego.
true and thats why so many celebrities, accomplished people, successful people are BI POLAR they get mad shiiiiiiit done when the mood is right
