In my opinion, Torrey is an extremist. He says that those illnesses are entirely biological, and strongly advocates involuntary treatment. His attitude towards those who disagree with him has been openly contemptuous.

His sister, who had schizophrenia which was never cured by medications, died June 4, 2010.
