Reply #41: My ex was quietly in and out of psychosis only Gawd knows how many years [View All]

before I noticed something was up about 6 months after we got married. We didn't date for very long, having known each other as friends in our early college years.

That was when he was 37.

So that means, his onset was likely sometime in his early 20s after I went to a different school and we lost touch -- what is that, twenty years? And nobody noticed. Not his girlfriends, not his family, not his whole big tribe of friends or any of the comedians or bookers he worked with. He was headlining so I guess the only thing anyone looked at was the house and what he put up his nose and if he was going to share. Amazing.

So, maybe I shouldn't be too surprised that even a group of mental health workers living and working in somewhat close quarters didn't give this one doctor a hair cut.
