I've only skimmed through this, but it seems interesting.
This might have been mentioned already, but one thing I'd like to say is that when people are acting like assholes (whether they're ill or not), they don't usually know that they are. I used to hang out with this group of people who often acted in obnoxiously rude ways...Whenever I pointed it out to someone, they almost always expressed surprise, and I don't think it was feigned. Now, I have no idea if they were mentally ill or not..I don't think they ever went to a therapist, that's for sure. But yeah, they obviously weren't aware of it. And the couple of times they did show some kind of regret, that would soon be over and they'd go back to their old behavior.
Oh and this: One of them actually mocked *me* for taking meds and having problems... At some point he actually told me to stop taking them and listen to his advice instead...
But now I'm going off topic...
