And about the mental illness with young adults-a personal note-

I have a cousin who was one of the smartest people I ever knew. He had a Masters in psychology and was in charge of the night shift in the psych section of a large hospital in the Southeast. He became disenchanted with the treatment of the mentally ill and got his law degree while still working full time. Unfortunately he developed schizophrenia (he was in his late 20's or early 30's) and he began to give me long phone calls detailing how he was being followed, being singled out for who knows what, etc. It ended with a suicide attempt and he has now been in care for about the past 15 years. I miss him terribly.
