I saw the same process at work when I worked in a psych unit, normal behavior overthought and medicalized into some sort of pathology. Once you were in the nuthouse, everything you did was wrong and you couldn't win.

My own yardstick was whether or not it would be considered anywhere on the normal scale in a mall.

It's just sad this poor guy is being used as proof by the $cientologists that all psychiatry is wrong. It's not, as they would have certainly seen had they spoken to most of the people in the intake ward whose drugs hadn't kicked in yet.

ETA: Would I have a beer with the guy? Well, in a bar with a bouncer, sure! I might have been a little reluctant to share one with him isolated at his home.

go "he's a psychopath". I forget what it was he said but his story of being an innocent was bogus.
