Some of the smartest people I know can have the biggest problems. I have a mentally ill nephew. He is a genius140 IQ. I can ask him the hardest questions on " jeopardy ". He can answer them. It does not mean anything compared to his emotional mental problems.

He is stark raving mad at times.

If you ever see the movie " A Beautiful Mind" you can only begin to maybe scratch the surface to understand. I am always praying for him.

Just as diseases of the heart,lungs,kidney and liver clearly exist so,too,do diseases of the brain.When your heart is abnormal it might ship beats,pump inefficiently,etc,etc.When your liver is abnormal you might turn yellow or feel weak,etc,etc.When your brain's abnormal you might have abnormal thought and sometimes act on these thoughts.Schizophrenia exists...it's a chronic,devastating brain disease that destroys lives...just as certain types of heart disease destroy lives.

My diagnosis is Schizophrenia.He's exactly the right age for it.
