> I had a friend with schizophrenia, he was 60% smart and knew his facts and then 40% have been just crazy like he believes in a stargate and has connections to the chines government. The problem with this person was very simple: i stoppend trusting him even if he was right to some extend. Wow... had similar experience with HS friend - we shared an apartment together after college as well. Good guy, smart, excellent in sales and business and decent with tech. We reconnected a few months ago, and... almost the exact same thing you just mentioned above. I know something's off with him, but couldn't put my finger on it. He's saying his mom's crazy, because she's saying he's crazy. There's been a lot of problems in that family for decades it seems, but there definitely seems to be some mental illness with him now (possibly been there for decades - I hadn't really talked to him much in probably 15 years after I left the state). Very sad, and I don't think there's anything I can do about it.
