You're right- it's difficult for people around the ill person also. Even a shrink I had once for over a year asked me if I was going to hurt him (in genuine fear)- I was horrified. The movie Beautiful Mind, while wonderful in revealing the illness was not very realistic. I think it takes a truly exceptional person to train their mind like Dr. Nash, and most people with mental illness are like everybody else. Take care, judy
