I say he'd end up on multiple APs. Maybe he is there somewhere, fat zombie that sleeps 16 hours a day and hopelessly stutters and eat the remaining 8 hours. Empty eyes in which only very good observer can see a glimmer of his former brilliance.
Just saying, not having the standard "treatment" where every teeny weeny symptom including LIFE itself is an "illness" that needs to be drugged away and if you have side effects, there's more drugs for that.... not having such "treatment" is not always a bad thing.

I agree with most of what you say (minus that Jesus may have been a fat zombie if that was the reference you intended). All considered, God made the prophet Ezekiel eat human dung. That sounds insane. There were always strange going ons from the prophets and Jesus himself. And, they are historically outcast.
I also fully recognize that mental illness is not demon possession or work of the devil despite having demons cast from me and preacher like ministers lay hands on me and speak in tongues to try to heal me and send away anything unclean inside of me (more than once). That was, of course, only out of my parents desperation as no treatments holistic and traditional were working. This was a stretch from my mom who was willing to try about anything.
I still question the need for medication in me at times because I am unwell both on meds and off. So, I partially feel there is no point in potentially poisoning my body. In this way, I understand the point that you frequently visit.
Anyway, I'm sorry for hijacking this thread. I didn't mean to add religion to it, just the historic belief that mental illness was demon possession.
