Rather than discussing some of Terry Davis' more unfortunate statements... he was clearly sick, brilliant, and like many of us somewhere in between. I personally feel for the guy as I know people (and family members) with schizophrenia. Managing the symptoms is all you can do, and just about the worst thing that can happen is constant encouragement to the fantasy, which is what happened. As a community we are more prone to both accepting and also aiding people with mental health issues, without assisting them or addressing the issue. I think this post highlights this, much of what Terry said was very jarring (it was to me), but at the same time having understanding goes a long way. Guiding them towards a better, perhaps better choice (getting help vs drugs) Anyway, I find the story of Terry Davis a sad one. Brilliant, but troubled. It can happen to literally anyone reading this, so try to remember to treat others how you'd like to be treated.
