1
00:00:15,724 --> 00:00:22,275
Mother and Father came to me
specifically and said,
"Please, please."
2
00:00:23,275 --> 00:00:25,965
There was no one else
that could've handled it.
3
00:00:27,172 --> 00:00:31,689
I mean, they said, please
do not do not desert them.
4
00:00:31,689 --> 00:00:35,689
And what I have seen is that
everyone else in my family,
5
00:00:35,689 --> 00:00:36,586
has deserted them.
6
00:00:36,586 --> 00:00:38,689
Maybe that was
too big of a chore.
7
00:00:39,172 --> 00:00:41,172
No, it's absolutely not.
8
00:00:41,793 --> 00:00:44,413
I never thought I would be
9
00:00:44,413 --> 00:00:47,379
doing this by myself
without you guys.
10
00:00:47,379 --> 00:00:50,689
I never in a million
years thought
11
00:00:50,689 --> 00:00:53,896
that my siblings would not
be by my side.
12
00:01:04,586 --> 00:01:07,000
Where schizophrenia
is diagnosed
13
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,310
between age 17 and 24...
14
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:11,689
It's a tragic story,
15
00:01:11,689 --> 00:01:13,724
to be part
of the Galvin family
16
00:01:13,724 --> 00:01:15,172
is to be part of a tragedy.
17
00:01:16,689 --> 00:01:21,103
This mutation was present
in every person in that family
18
00:01:21,103 --> 00:01:22,862
who had schizophrenia.
19
00:01:24,206 --> 00:01:28,965
They might hear
voices, they can command them
to do things.
20
00:01:30,379 --> 00:01:32,000
Throwing a cat into a bonfire,
21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,931
dismembered a dog
in the bathtub.
22
00:01:34,931 --> 00:01:39,172
This family gave us
hope that there might be a
chance to cure schizophrenia.
23
00:01:40,379 --> 00:01:43,793
He shot her first,
and then he shot himself.
24
00:01:45,275 --> 00:01:46,896
Well, it started
to fall apart.
25
00:01:46,896 --> 00:01:48,344
My brothers were falling ill.
26
00:01:48,931 --> 00:01:50,103
They were losing their minds.
27
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
What happened
in our family is very rare.
28
00:02:07,793 --> 00:02:12,448
Six siblings out of 12 to have
schizophrenia...
29
00:02:13,379 --> 00:02:15,172
Half the family.
30
00:02:15,689 --> 00:02:16,689
That's rare.
31
00:02:16,689 --> 00:02:17,896
You don't see that.
32
00:02:21,586 --> 00:02:24,965
I mean, if you look at the
chronology, it's unbelievable.
33
00:02:27,586 --> 00:02:30,793
Donald, you know, I was two
when Donald became ill.
34
00:02:32,172 --> 00:02:33,965
Then Jim went to the hospital.
35
00:02:35,413 --> 00:02:37,344
And then Peter
went to the hospital.
36
00:02:38,827 --> 00:02:40,379
And then Matthew
went to the hospital.
37
00:02:42,379 --> 00:02:43,241
And then Joseph.
38
00:02:44,896 --> 00:02:46,103
In the middle of all that,
39
00:02:46,103 --> 00:02:47,448
Brian committed suicide
40
00:02:48,275 --> 00:02:49,655
and murdered his girlfriend.
41
00:02:51,206 --> 00:02:56,275
And it's only been
over the course of a lifetime
that you can
42
00:02:56,275 --> 00:02:58,275
look back on it and go...
43
00:02:58,517 --> 00:03:00,551
Oh, my...
44
00:03:01,827 --> 00:03:04,000
Holy crap!
45
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,344
How did this happen?
46
00:03:23,379 --> 00:03:25,689
Peter Eugene Galvin.
47
00:03:26,310 --> 00:03:29,241
Son of Dr. D.W. Galvin.
48
00:03:34,172 --> 00:03:35,758
We were all healed.
49
00:03:38,172 --> 00:03:41,689
Gave something the doctors
had to heal us with.
50
00:03:42,586 --> 00:03:45,241
They tell us what to do
with medications.
51
00:03:46,275 --> 00:03:48,551
We take them and shut up.
52
00:03:54,517 --> 00:03:55,655
I don't.
53
00:03:57,689 --> 00:03:59,689
I don't need to be
looked after.
54
00:03:59,689 --> 00:04:01,758
I can look after myself.
55
00:04:07,068 --> 00:04:09,448
Peter was so noncompliant.
56
00:04:10,827 --> 00:04:12,586
He just would not abide
57
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:15,413
by what the doctors were
asking him to do.
58
00:04:15,413 --> 00:04:16,758
He just would not do it.
59
00:04:17,793 --> 00:04:19,724
He was in and out
of the hospital.
60
00:04:19,724 --> 00:04:21,655
I have no idea how many times.
61
00:04:22,172 --> 00:04:24,241
Hundreds, I would guess.
62
00:04:24,896 --> 00:04:27,000
Get stabilized, go home.
63
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,172
My parents would
try to get him
64
00:04:28,172 --> 00:04:31,034
established in an apartment
and he would blow it
65
00:04:32,586 --> 00:04:34,620
within a few months.
66
00:04:34,620 --> 00:04:38,827
And this was just this
repetitive revolving door
67
00:04:38,827 --> 00:04:41,689
with Peter, in and out, and in
and out, and in and out.
68
00:04:41,689 --> 00:04:43,724
Stopping taking
the medications
69
00:04:43,724 --> 00:04:45,344
because of the way
they make you feel.
70
00:04:48,586 --> 00:04:52,034
And then we would get a call
from the police.
71
00:04:55,517 --> 00:04:56,586
No, I haven't.
72
00:05:01,517 --> 00:05:03,103
Police reports indicate
73
00:05:03,103 --> 00:05:04,586
that he was charged
with two counts of assault
74
00:05:04,586 --> 00:05:07,482
in the second degree
against a police officer.
75
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,413
No.
76
00:05:14,586 --> 00:05:19,586
On 5/18/91, a theft
of cigarettes had occurred
from a 7-Eleven store.
77
00:05:19,586 --> 00:05:23,000
Someone chased Mr. Galvin down
and got the cigarettes back.
78
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,413
Mr. Galvin then sat
in front of the store
and refused to leave.
79
00:05:26,413 --> 00:05:29,206
When the police
approached him,
he began swinging his fists
80
00:05:29,206 --> 00:05:31,379
and fighting,
injuring both officers.
81
00:05:33,379 --> 00:05:35,896
He punched both in the face.
82
00:05:35,896 --> 00:05:39,448
During his trip
to corrections,
he was yelling and incoherent.
83
00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:44,827
Nope.
84
00:05:44,827 --> 00:05:48,724
I stay clean
85
00:05:48,724 --> 00:05:50,551
and I'm an E.M.T
86
00:05:51,620 --> 00:05:53,034
and I save lives.
87
00:06:08,103 --> 00:06:11,586
I had to go get Peter's
court records and say, look,
88
00:06:11,586 --> 00:06:13,896
he has a severe
mental illness.
89
00:06:13,896 --> 00:06:17,620
I really had to convince
the courts that he did.
90
00:06:17,620 --> 00:06:21,344
It wasn't like they were just
willing to take the piles
91
00:06:22,379 --> 00:06:23,862
of hospitalizations.
92
00:06:25,206 --> 00:06:27,379
I mean, we had to go
to great efforts
93
00:06:27,379 --> 00:06:30,103
within the Boulder County
judicial system
94
00:06:30,103 --> 00:06:33,586
to convince them that he had
severe mental illness.
95
00:06:45,172 --> 00:06:48,275
Peter is a very
interesting person
96
00:06:48,275 --> 00:06:49,965
and he's fun to talk to.
97
00:06:50,827 --> 00:06:53,965
He was so
chronically cheerful,
98
00:06:55,931 --> 00:06:58,620
but he could be
a very difficult patient.
99
00:06:58,620 --> 00:06:59,931
He can be violent.
100
00:06:59,931 --> 00:07:02,103
He can be agitated.
101
00:07:02,103 --> 00:07:03,206
He can be very manic.
102
00:07:03,206 --> 00:07:04,689
He can be grandiose.
103
00:07:04,689 --> 00:07:06,068
I'm Saint Peter.
104
00:07:07,482 --> 00:07:10,965
The holy Saint who was
crucified on the cross.
105
00:07:11,931 --> 00:07:14,655
Irish setters
right in my hands,
106
00:07:16,275 --> 00:07:18,586
I died on the cross
107
00:07:19,793 --> 00:07:20,896
with Jesus.
108
00:07:21,896 --> 00:07:24,068
And I saved his life, too.
109
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,379
It's upsetting because
you love Peter
110
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,793
and then when he turns on you,
111
00:07:30,379 --> 00:07:33,172
it feels like a betrayal.
112
00:07:33,172 --> 00:07:36,896
But we eventually,
and particularly with the
support of his family,
113
00:07:38,206 --> 00:07:41,655
we were able to get Peter
in a good place
and get him stabilized.
114
00:07:53,620 --> 00:07:58,172
My mom said, "Oh, Mary,
don't take this on.
Do not take this on."
115
00:07:59,379 --> 00:08:02,137
And I said, I have to try
or I won't know.
116
00:08:04,379 --> 00:08:06,620
Mary took Peter in
and tried to do
117
00:08:06,620 --> 00:08:08,103
whatever was right for him.
118
00:08:08,103 --> 00:08:10,103
She could help him
119
00:08:10,103 --> 00:08:13,862
get clothes and find jobs
and whatever.
120
00:08:14,482 --> 00:08:16,103
I saw real progress.
121
00:08:16,103 --> 00:08:17,724
I mean, really.
122
00:08:17,724 --> 00:08:20,310
Peter held down
a job in Boulder.
123
00:08:20,310 --> 00:08:22,172
He lived in his own apartment,
124
00:08:22,172 --> 00:08:24,551
and I don't know how many
years that went on.
125
00:08:25,620 --> 00:08:28,413
Found but he was pretty
high functioning.
126
00:08:28,413 --> 00:08:32,896
But he was taking medication
and going to therapy.
127
00:08:32,896 --> 00:08:34,241
Combined.
128
00:08:46,586 --> 00:08:49,068
His doctors talked to me.
129
00:08:50,172 --> 00:08:53,310
At one point, and said
that he's extremely brittle,
130
00:08:53,310 --> 00:08:55,965
unresponsive to
the medications.
131
00:08:56,896 --> 00:09:00,241
And that they would
eventually stop working.
132
00:09:01,068 --> 00:09:03,000
And that they felt
that it was time
133
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,172
for Peter to go back
to Pueblo,
134
00:09:06,172 --> 00:09:09,206
where somebody
with his severity
135
00:09:09,206 --> 00:09:12,758
of a brain disorder
would get better treatment.
136
00:09:14,827 --> 00:09:18,344
So basically the doctors
were telling me to give up
137
00:09:18,896 --> 00:09:20,862
on my attempt to save him.
138
00:09:34,620 --> 00:09:36,000
Yeah.
139
00:09:38,275 --> 00:09:39,551
I didn't like it.
140
00:09:41,206 --> 00:09:44,689
I was the main patient
at the hospital.
141
00:09:46,103 --> 00:09:48,241
And I did what they said to.
142
00:09:56,103 --> 00:09:58,379
Pete was,
he was very unstable.
143
00:09:58,379 --> 00:09:59,965
He was in and out
of the hospital.
144
00:09:59,965 --> 00:10:01,034
We would get him out.
145
00:10:01,586 --> 00:10:02,586
He would destabilize.
146
00:10:02,586 --> 00:10:04,103
He would come back in,
and I don't know
147
00:10:04,103 --> 00:10:07,413
how many admissions we had,
where he came back in.
148
00:10:07,413 --> 00:10:11,862
And then it was like,
well, "Okay, let's do
the shock therapy now."
149
00:10:26,758 --> 00:10:29,034
The state of Colorado
requires Peter to have ECT.
150
00:10:29,689 --> 00:10:31,896
Because when he
doesn't have it,
151
00:10:31,896 --> 00:10:35,689
he is a danger to himself
and perhaps others.
152
00:10:39,172 --> 00:10:42,689
There's always
been something
to electroshock therapy.
153
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,862
And it's been scary
and it has a bad reputation.
154
00:11:03,517 --> 00:11:06,379
The way we do it now
is much more judicious.
155
00:11:06,379 --> 00:11:08,103
We use anesthesia.
156
00:11:08,103 --> 00:11:10,758
I think if you can come up
with a treatment,
157
00:11:10,758 --> 00:11:12,103
and it is
electroshock therapy,
158
00:11:12,103 --> 00:11:13,000
and that's what works,
159
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,551
then that's what
you stick with.
160
00:11:15,758 --> 00:11:16,758
I get...
161
00:11:17,862 --> 00:11:20,137
shock treatments
right in the temples.
162
00:11:21,620 --> 00:11:23,275
They get--
They knocked me out.
163
00:11:26,379 --> 00:11:27,586
With their beds
164
00:11:28,586 --> 00:11:31,172
on the shock-treatment tables.
165
00:11:33,482 --> 00:11:34,965
I feel much better.
166
00:11:36,206 --> 00:11:40,586
Like a brand-new man
that takes care
of his doctors.
167
00:11:40,586 --> 00:11:42,172
I sing them songs,
168
00:11:42,172 --> 00:11:45,172
and I do everything
that I can think of for them
169
00:11:46,172 --> 00:11:48,241
because they're fine doctors.
170
00:11:49,275 --> 00:11:53,172
In Peter's case,
it really helped significantly
171
00:11:53,172 --> 00:11:57,758
with his, um, manic,
manic type of symptoms
that he had.
172
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
The biggest issues
that I have dealt with
173
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,068
with electroshock therapy
is memory.
174
00:12:08,482 --> 00:12:09,689
And when you talk to Peter...
175
00:12:09,689 --> 00:12:12,896
Uh, I always describe
Peter's talking in a loop.
176
00:12:12,896 --> 00:12:14,379
He will--
He'll have a story.
177
00:12:14,379 --> 00:12:17,241
He'll have a loop
that he'll talk to you about.
178
00:12:19,896 --> 00:12:22,275
Maybe someday
we'll understand better
179
00:12:22,275 --> 00:12:25,172
exactly how
electroshock therapy
actually works,
180
00:12:25,172 --> 00:12:27,689
and we can use something
that's much less of invasive
181
00:12:27,689 --> 00:12:30,379
and doesn't require
the same drawbacks.
182
00:12:33,206 --> 00:12:35,103
There-- There needs
to be some progress
183
00:12:35,103 --> 00:12:37,241
in the way they treat
the mentally ill.
184
00:12:38,896 --> 00:12:40,379
I keep hearing from Peter.
185
00:12:40,379 --> 00:12:42,103
And one of
the most painful things
186
00:12:42,103 --> 00:12:45,241
is the fact
that they do these
shock treatments on him.
187
00:12:49,103 --> 00:12:52,000
I'm just thinking about
what he's been through
188
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,655
and the pain
he's been through.
189
00:12:58,172 --> 00:12:59,448
I can't even imagine.
190
00:13:13,172 --> 00:13:16,896
So much tragedy
in some ways
191
00:13:16,896 --> 00:13:19,655
has been brought to the family
because of this disease.
192
00:13:20,896 --> 00:13:23,275
And to me,
losing my brothers
193
00:13:23,275 --> 00:13:25,517
closest to me in age
to this disease
194
00:13:25,517 --> 00:13:28,689
has had a big impact
on my life.
195
00:13:33,482 --> 00:13:34,965
It's-- It's painful.
196
00:13:37,172 --> 00:13:41,034
What my family
has gone through,
it's horrific.
197
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,206
But there is hope.
198
00:13:44,206 --> 00:13:45,413
Okay.
199
00:13:45,413 --> 00:13:47,103
Hi.
How are you doing?
200
00:13:47,103 --> 00:13:48,172
Okay.
201
00:13:48,172 --> 00:13:52,172
And when we did our
our first main study,
202
00:13:52,172 --> 00:13:57,689
uh, I had about 350 families,
something like that.
203
00:13:58,517 --> 00:14:02,172
And the Galvin's
was the largest.
204
00:14:17,172 --> 00:14:18,896
At that first visit,
there were at least
205
00:14:18,896 --> 00:14:20,793
four of them
that were there.
206
00:14:20,793 --> 00:14:24,482
And what I remember
is them marching around
207
00:14:24,482 --> 00:14:28,034
through the kitchen
saying things that
didn't make sense.
208
00:14:33,310 --> 00:14:35,896
They were
essentially a gold mine
209
00:14:35,896 --> 00:14:38,586
because the larger the family
210
00:14:38,586 --> 00:14:43,758
and the more the number
of affected people
in the family,
211
00:14:43,758 --> 00:14:46,000
the more likely
we can find something
212
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,586
that's significantly
related to the illness.
213
00:15:04,586 --> 00:15:06,862
Bob Freedman
was a colleague of mine.
214
00:15:08,206 --> 00:15:12,310
He was doing genetic research
that was related.
215
00:15:12,310 --> 00:15:16,000
So I introduced him
to the Galvin family.
216
00:15:18,379 --> 00:15:19,689
There were a lot of Galvins.
217
00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:23,586
Mimi, from the start,
was a very impressive woman.
218
00:15:26,482 --> 00:15:30,000
Don Jr. and all his brothers
were sitting on a bench
219
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,482
for myself
and my research team
to begin to interview,
220
00:15:33,482 --> 00:15:36,586
to draw blood
for genetic sampling.
221
00:15:38,482 --> 00:15:41,862
Better research
on mental illness
was Mimi's hope.
222
00:15:45,482 --> 00:15:49,172
The family had clearly been
devastated by schizophrenia.
223
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,068
They wanted to do some
genetic testing on the family.
224
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,448
I was ready to help.
225
00:16:03,103 --> 00:16:06,275
I never thought
of the overall big picture
226
00:16:06,275 --> 00:16:08,241
until the testing came along.
227
00:16:09,517 --> 00:16:12,275
I remember
giving the blood sample.
228
00:16:12,275 --> 00:16:16,517
Advances are being made
in genetic treatments
all the time.
229
00:16:16,517 --> 00:16:18,379
Maybe someday
they'll find a cure
230
00:16:18,379 --> 00:16:21,103
for these
mental health issues.
231
00:16:21,103 --> 00:16:24,034
And maybe that could
help my brothers as well.
232
00:16:38,379 --> 00:16:39,689
That whole
schizophrenia thing
233
00:16:39,689 --> 00:16:42,068
was my mother's
idea of notion
234
00:16:42,896 --> 00:16:44,482
that I'm mentally ill.
235
00:16:44,482 --> 00:16:46,000
I might have been
a little schizophrenic
236
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,137
because I was
with a lot of people
who were schizophrenic,
237
00:16:48,137 --> 00:16:50,586
but it doesn't
make me a schizophrenic.
238
00:16:50,586 --> 00:16:54,586
Every human being
has a genetic blueprint
called DNA.
239
00:16:54,586 --> 00:16:58,896
Researchers hope
to map the genes found
on the chromosomes.
240
00:16:58,896 --> 00:17:02,241
It could be
a fundamental advance
towards a cure
241
00:17:02,241 --> 00:17:03,862
for genetically-linked
illnesses
242
00:17:03,862 --> 00:17:06,965
such as schizophrenia,
cancer and heart disease.
243
00:17:10,896 --> 00:17:12,896
In the early 1990s,
244
00:17:12,896 --> 00:17:14,896
scientists all over the world
245
00:17:14,896 --> 00:17:16,793
hit on the idea
that you could make a map
246
00:17:16,793 --> 00:17:19,344
of the entire genome
in human beings.
247
00:17:22,137 --> 00:17:25,137
There was a great sense
of competitiveness.
248
00:17:25,137 --> 00:17:29,965
Each of us wanted to be
the first to find the gene
that causes schizophrenia.
249
00:17:32,172 --> 00:17:34,344
Once we knew
what "the gene" was,
250
00:17:34,344 --> 00:17:38,758
we would be able
to target a medication
towards that gene.
251
00:17:38,758 --> 00:17:40,206
The magic bullet.
252
00:17:41,793 --> 00:17:47,551
So we went gene hunting
and identified a gene.
253
00:17:47,551 --> 00:17:49,655
And the name of the gene
was CHRNA7.
254
00:18:06,275 --> 00:18:10,448
So we sequenced
the whole genome
in the Galvin family.
255
00:18:12,379 --> 00:18:15,586
They had one mutation
that really stood out,
256
00:18:15,586 --> 00:18:18,862
that was present
in all affected siblings.
257
00:18:21,103 --> 00:18:24,551
It was a gene that was
expressed in the brain
258
00:18:24,551 --> 00:18:27,965
in what's called
the SHANK2 gene,
259
00:18:27,965 --> 00:18:31,448
and was important
for brain development
260
00:18:31,448 --> 00:18:36,413
so that we knew
we were on the right track.
261
00:18:40,241 --> 00:18:42,896
SHANK2 is a very important gene.
262
00:18:42,896 --> 00:18:45,965
It's not
a complete determinant
of schizophrenia.
263
00:18:45,965 --> 00:18:47,793
But multiple
discoveries like that
264
00:18:47,793 --> 00:18:50,172
changed our view
of what we were looking at
265
00:18:50,172 --> 00:18:52,103
in schizophrenia in general.
266
00:19:01,793 --> 00:19:04,689
For example,
having an abusive childhood,
267
00:19:04,689 --> 00:19:08,000
where you've had
a lot of trauma,
268
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,379
that trauma
is doing something
269
00:19:10,379 --> 00:19:13,896
to the genetic material
in the brain,
270
00:19:13,896 --> 00:19:19,896
and maybe causing genes
to be expressed
in a different way.
271
00:19:19,896 --> 00:19:24,379
Church officials have
reportedly sent the names
of 49 additional priests
272
00:19:24,379 --> 00:19:27,586
accused of child sexual abuse
to prosecutors,
273
00:19:27,586 --> 00:19:29,103
bringing the total number
of priests
274
00:19:29,103 --> 00:19:32,448
named by the archdiocese
so far to 87.
275
00:19:32,448 --> 00:19:34,655
NBC's Monica Novotny
has the story.
276
00:19:36,379 --> 00:19:39,379
When the story
about the Catholic Church
277
00:19:39,379 --> 00:19:44,206
and the priests
abusing young boys
broke across the world,
278
00:19:45,793 --> 00:19:49,172
my mother was watching
television with Donald.
279
00:19:49,172 --> 00:19:55,586
Priests during the 1980s
or even before were knowingly
assigned to active ministry
280
00:19:55,586 --> 00:19:58,862
after there had been
credible allegations
of child abuse.
281
00:19:58,862 --> 00:20:00,862
And he told my mother
282
00:20:00,862 --> 00:20:03,344
that he had been
sexually abused
by Father Freudenstein.
283
00:20:16,137 --> 00:20:18,620
Hm?
284
00:20:25,034 --> 00:20:27,482
My mother,
of course, believed him
285
00:20:27,482 --> 00:20:30,448
because he was lucid
and on his medicine.
286
00:20:30,448 --> 00:20:32,241
And just because
they have schizophrenia
287
00:20:32,241 --> 00:20:34,689
doesn't mean they just
make stuff like that up.
288
00:20:34,689 --> 00:20:37,275
That would
not be something, um,
289
00:20:37,275 --> 00:20:39,931
Don would hallucinate
or make up.
290
00:20:42,344 --> 00:20:44,379
The priests?
Well, there are a lot of them.
291
00:20:44,379 --> 00:20:46,586
A lot of priests
over the years.
292
00:20:46,586 --> 00:20:49,275
Most of them
like smoking cigars,
as I recall,
293
00:20:49,275 --> 00:20:50,965
that stunk up the house.
294
00:20:50,965 --> 00:20:53,068
Um, but they
would come over a lot.
295
00:20:53,068 --> 00:20:55,482
There was one...
One priest.
296
00:20:55,482 --> 00:20:57,862
His name was Freudenstein.
297
00:20:57,862 --> 00:21:00,241
They called him
Father Freudenstein.
298
00:21:00,241 --> 00:21:03,586
I was not particularly
fond of him.
299
00:21:03,586 --> 00:21:06,275
Something
about his personality,
300
00:21:06,275 --> 00:21:09,275
the way he carried himself.
Maybe it was his demeanor.
301
00:21:09,275 --> 00:21:12,931
And I kind of distanced
myself from him.
302
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:23,241
Don, Jim,
and Brian, all would go
on these excursions.
303
00:21:23,241 --> 00:21:26,896
I remember, Father
Freudenstein was picking
him up in a station wagon,
304
00:21:26,896 --> 00:21:28,000
saying goodbye to him,
305
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,931
and then, they'd
come home three days later.
306
00:21:30,862 --> 00:21:32,275
We didn't think
any of these priests
307
00:21:32,275 --> 00:21:34,724
would be doing
anything illicit or wrong.
308
00:21:39,689 --> 00:21:43,482
What I heard
from my mother
and my brothers
309
00:21:43,482 --> 00:21:47,448
is that he became
sexually abusive towards
my oldest brother, Don.
310
00:21:53,034 --> 00:21:57,379
And then, suddenly,
it was like...
311
00:21:57,379 --> 00:22:01,241
"Well, that must have
happened to Jim, too."
312
00:22:02,448 --> 00:22:05,793
Because what else
would have caused him
313
00:22:05,793 --> 00:22:08,620
to sexually abuse me?
314
00:22:12,689 --> 00:22:13,862
So,
315
00:22:14,896 --> 00:22:17,965
we came to that conclusion
without firsthand knowledge.
316
00:22:18,896 --> 00:22:20,551
But it just fits.
317
00:22:20,551 --> 00:22:22,172
It just fits, you know.
318
00:22:22,172 --> 00:22:24,344
It makes
everything make sense.
319
00:22:37,172 --> 00:22:41,448
There are those
in psychiatry who say that
a traumatic experience
320
00:22:41,448 --> 00:22:45,137
can trigger mental illness, schizophrenia.
321
00:22:45,896 --> 00:22:47,793
While, maybe it's genetic,
322
00:22:47,793 --> 00:22:50,758
perhaps it's a traumatic event
that triggers it.
323
00:22:54,275 --> 00:22:56,896
One of the things we know
about schizophrenia
324
00:22:56,896 --> 00:23:01,137
is that just having the genes
by themselves is not enough.
325
00:23:01,137 --> 00:23:03,793
There have to be
other factors.
326
00:23:03,793 --> 00:23:07,137
How much is nature?
How much is nurture?
327
00:23:07,137 --> 00:23:10,344
How much is the way
you were treated in your life
328
00:23:10,344 --> 00:23:13,379
versus how much did you
come into life with
329
00:23:13,379 --> 00:23:15,068
as a biological background?
330
00:23:15,068 --> 00:23:17,620
Of course,
most human diseases,
331
00:23:19,448 --> 00:23:23,620
including cancer,
are nature and nurture.
332
00:23:29,482 --> 00:23:33,758
Donald played football,
and wrestled
and was very athletic.
333
00:23:33,758 --> 00:23:37,241
So, the chances
of him having head injury
were pretty big.
334
00:23:37,241 --> 00:23:38,344
He was sexually abused.
335
00:23:40,793 --> 00:23:42,724
And so, there
was trauma there.
336
00:23:45,172 --> 00:23:46,758
And then, Jim,
337
00:23:46,758 --> 00:23:48,551
he played sports, too.
338
00:23:52,275 --> 00:23:55,862
I think he was probably
sexually abused as well.
339
00:23:57,551 --> 00:23:58,620
For Brian,
340
00:24:00,793 --> 00:24:02,344
maybe psychedelic drugs.
341
00:24:02,344 --> 00:24:03,896
Yeah, maybe LSD,
342
00:24:03,896 --> 00:24:06,931
and flashbacks
might have been
a trigger for him.
343
00:24:09,482 --> 00:24:12,965
For Joe, he was in Chicago
at the time that
it happened. So...
344
00:24:14,655 --> 00:24:19,172
Maybe just working
long hours at the airlines,
345
00:24:19,172 --> 00:24:23,068
just being
exhausted, physically
and emotionally, and alone...
346
00:24:24,896 --> 00:24:27,551
Maybe loneliness
could be a trigger.
347
00:24:30,689 --> 00:24:35,137
Matt, perhaps his crash
into the hockey goal...
348
00:24:38,655 --> 00:24:42,896
Been a lot of hospitalization
from trauma happening
to my physical body.
349
00:24:42,896 --> 00:24:45,551
I was lucky to live through it
after being in
350
00:24:45,551 --> 00:24:48,103
a hematoma,
blood clot hemorrhage
brain operation.
351
00:24:50,137 --> 00:24:53,586
For Peter, witnessing
my father's first stroke
352
00:24:53,586 --> 00:24:56,000
could have been that kind
of traumatic event
353
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,965
that might have triggered
the schizophrenia.
354
00:25:01,103 --> 00:25:04,137
He once stated to me,
"You know, I had
a pretty good life
355
00:25:04,137 --> 00:25:07,379
until this mental illness
came along and ruined it."
356
00:25:07,379 --> 00:25:10,758
Christ, Christ...
357
00:25:10,758 --> 00:25:12,344
Christ...
358
00:25:28,758 --> 00:25:32,965
I was trying so hard
to normalize mental illness
around my children,
359
00:25:34,137 --> 00:25:35,655
and didn't...
360
00:25:36,689 --> 00:25:40,862
understand the consequences
of exposing them to so much
mental illness.
361
00:25:41,896 --> 00:25:44,827
Our intention was, um...
362
00:25:45,896 --> 00:25:49,586
to try to expose the kids
to the ill boys
363
00:25:49,586 --> 00:25:52,758
so that they would
get to know them.
364
00:25:56,137 --> 00:26:01,310
I think it's really
important to normalize
mental illness. Um...
365
00:26:02,344 --> 00:26:04,448
But I also think
there is a lot...
366
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,000
that I wish
I hadn't known until
I was a little bit older.
367
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,241
If you're
not mentally equipped
to handle this information,
368
00:26:14,689 --> 00:26:18,241
you're not normalizing it,
you're inflicting more trauma,
369
00:26:18,241 --> 00:26:19,965
whether you mean to or not.
370
00:26:42,275 --> 00:26:45,172
I mean,
no one's family is normal,
371
00:26:45,172 --> 00:26:48,448
but not many people have
six schizophrenic uncles.
372
00:26:52,793 --> 00:26:54,344
Well, it has been a minute.
373
00:26:57,965 --> 00:27:01,689
The day I wake up,
on my 26th birthday
374
00:27:01,689 --> 00:27:03,862
will be
a very happy day for me.
375
00:27:05,172 --> 00:27:07,172
Because that's, like,
when scientists think
376
00:27:07,172 --> 00:27:09,034
the male brain
finishes developing.
377
00:27:20,137 --> 00:27:23,896
I will feel like
I've... gotten past it,
378
00:27:23,896 --> 00:27:27,551
and then, I have
no percent chance now.
379
00:27:29,137 --> 00:27:32,379
Zero percent chance
of developing schizophrenia.
380
00:27:32,379 --> 00:27:33,965
I mean, none.
381
00:27:48,482 --> 00:27:53,172
I think the fear
started to set in
once I was 12, 13, 14,
382
00:27:53,172 --> 00:27:56,586
um, because,
you know, that the...
383
00:27:56,586 --> 00:27:59,896
I was not doing things
that other kids did,
like I didn't play football.
384
00:27:59,896 --> 00:28:03,103
I didn't play hockey because,
you know, fear of head injury
385
00:28:03,103 --> 00:28:04,965
eventually turning
into schizophrenia.
386
00:28:08,482 --> 00:28:10,862
When I hear
a sound in the house,
387
00:28:10,862 --> 00:28:15,241
I immediately look to see
and figure out what it is.
388
00:28:15,241 --> 00:28:18,000
I have that moment
of, like, anxiety,
389
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,689
of like,
"Did I just hear that?"
390
00:28:19,689 --> 00:28:24,241
Like, "Was that me
or was that actually
happening around me?"
391
00:28:24,241 --> 00:28:26,344
And you know, for
someone who fears that way,
392
00:28:26,344 --> 00:28:28,655
you run a very fine line.
393
00:28:30,379 --> 00:28:32,000
Because I think
you can convince yourself
394
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,551
that you're hearing things
that you're not,
395
00:28:34,551 --> 00:28:37,034
that you can tell yourself
that you're hearing stuff,
396
00:28:37,034 --> 00:28:38,551
and eventually,
you will.
397
00:28:40,275 --> 00:28:43,000
I think my brother
was really affected
398
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,206
by the idea of possibly
becoming schizophrenic.
399
00:28:48,482 --> 00:28:51,965
He started to smoke
weed for the first time.
400
00:28:53,344 --> 00:28:55,448
And he...
401
00:28:57,793 --> 00:28:59,655
would tell me
what was going on,
402
00:29:00,275 --> 00:29:02,275
um, for the most part,
403
00:29:02,275 --> 00:29:03,862
and be like,
"Oh, I'm here,"
404
00:29:03,862 --> 00:29:05,896
or "This happened."
405
00:29:05,896 --> 00:29:09,551
I started to get worried
and telling my parents,
406
00:29:09,551 --> 00:29:10,586
you know, what was going on.
407
00:29:10,586 --> 00:29:13,000
And then,
he stopped telling me things.
408
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,655
And that was when I was...
409
00:29:15,482 --> 00:29:17,965
got really nervous
about what was happening.
410
00:29:19,068 --> 00:29:21,000
We were
struggling that summer.
411
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,000
We can't find him,
412
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,931
He's MIA.
Won't answer his phone,
won't answer his texts.
413
00:29:27,448 --> 00:29:28,517
Um...
414
00:29:31,068 --> 00:29:33,241
- Yeah. That was
a tough summer.
- Mm-hmm.
415
00:29:34,137 --> 00:29:36,103
Yeah, we were
struggling with what to do.
416
00:29:47,448 --> 00:29:49,275
I was
self-destructive,
417
00:29:49,275 --> 00:29:54,000
to the point where
it was going to affect
my life in a serious way.
418
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,344
I started abusing drugs
with my prescribed
ADHD medication.
419
00:29:58,344 --> 00:29:59,758
I was abusing that.
420
00:30:02,137 --> 00:30:05,793
My mind was that,
if he keeps going
down this path,
421
00:30:05,793 --> 00:30:08,896
he is going to potentially
develop major mental illness
422
00:30:08,896 --> 00:30:12,000
- by his drug use.
- Yeah, that's true.
423
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,482
His behaviors reminded me
of things
424
00:30:14,482 --> 00:30:18,172
that I suspected
Peter had been up to
when he was young.
425
00:30:18,172 --> 00:30:21,551
- The two of them just
reminded me of each other.
- Oh, yeah.
426
00:30:21,551 --> 00:30:25,034
We had been researching,
uh, programs,
427
00:30:25,034 --> 00:30:28,172
what we might do,
where we might take him,
428
00:30:28,172 --> 00:30:30,241
who might be able to help us,
429
00:30:30,241 --> 00:30:32,379
But Jack just...
430
00:30:32,379 --> 00:30:34,724
wouldn't fully engage
in the process.
431
00:30:38,275 --> 00:30:41,862
My parents
really did not want
to send him away.
432
00:30:45,758 --> 00:30:48,172
Once that was decided, um...
433
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,482
my parents, like, made a plan.
434
00:30:50,482 --> 00:30:53,896
They were gonna
take him and his friend
to the skate park,
435
00:30:53,896 --> 00:30:55,551
and then, they were
gonna ask him
to stay in the car
436
00:30:55,551 --> 00:30:57,586
so they could
talk to him for a minute.
437
00:30:57,586 --> 00:31:00,137
And instead of that,
they were just
gonna drive away.
438
00:31:00,137 --> 00:31:04,379
And before they left, I put
the child locks on the doors
439
00:31:04,379 --> 00:31:07,551
so that, once they
started driving away,
440
00:31:08,793 --> 00:31:10,448
he couldn't
get out of the car.
441
00:31:12,586 --> 00:31:17,689
He tried to, like,
kick out the windows and
open the doors on the highway.
442
00:31:17,689 --> 00:31:22,241
And I feel bad now
because, like, how traumatic
was that for him, you know?
443
00:31:22,241 --> 00:31:26,241
I can't imagine just, like,
being sent away like that.
444
00:31:34,862 --> 00:31:36,241
At the start,
445
00:31:36,241 --> 00:31:41,000
this was perhaps the worst
experience of my life,
446
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,034
having to take him down there
and leave him there,
447
00:31:44,758 --> 00:31:48,793
turn him over
to someone else.
448
00:31:48,793 --> 00:31:50,551
It was horrible.
449
00:31:53,172 --> 00:31:56,275
It was horribly
traumatic and awful.
450
00:31:56,275 --> 00:31:58,344
Absolutely, I think.
451
00:31:58,344 --> 00:32:02,551
But, then, by the time
we got to graduation,
it was the exact opposite.
452
00:32:06,482 --> 00:32:10,758
What we met In Jack
when he was done,
453
00:32:10,758 --> 00:32:13,241
was... It was
unbelievable.
454
00:32:17,379 --> 00:32:19,103
I did think,
at the time,
455
00:32:19,103 --> 00:32:22,896
maybe there's
a preventative component
to an early intervention.
456
00:32:22,896 --> 00:32:26,896
But I thought that,
"Boy, what if Peter had
had this opportunity?"
457
00:32:26,896 --> 00:32:30,241
Would he have ended up
as bad as he is now?
458
00:32:31,482 --> 00:32:35,586
♪ Our father who art
in heaven,♪
459
00:32:35,586 --> 00:32:41,275
♪ Hallowed be Thy name...♪
460
00:32:41,275 --> 00:32:43,379
Growing up
in this type of situation,
461
00:32:43,379 --> 00:32:45,896
it felt like things
were always happening.
462
00:32:45,896 --> 00:32:48,758
You know, it was...
This is going on
with this brother.
463
00:32:48,758 --> 00:32:53,275
And, you know, my mom
being the person
that takes care of them,
464
00:32:53,275 --> 00:32:56,793
it's not like we were
just hearing about it.
465
00:32:56,793 --> 00:32:58,275
You know, we were there.
466
00:32:58,275 --> 00:33:00,137
Madness has defined my life.
467
00:33:01,379 --> 00:33:03,896
I've lived too many days
worried about it.
468
00:33:03,896 --> 00:33:07,758
♪ But they'll never
ask for me ♪
469
00:33:07,758 --> 00:33:10,275
I've done
all the therapy.
470
00:33:10,275 --> 00:33:12,724
But I'm still
afraid
of schizophrenia.
471
00:33:31,241 --> 00:33:33,448
Since she passed,
472
00:33:33,448 --> 00:33:37,103
the family's kind of
broken apart in
more ways than one.
473
00:33:37,103 --> 00:33:38,586
You know, John's so far away.
474
00:33:38,586 --> 00:33:41,758
He's been kind of
separate from the family
for a long time.
475
00:33:41,758 --> 00:33:45,965
You know, Michael
and I just never shared
a common bond of any sort
476
00:33:46,586 --> 00:33:48,137
to spend time together.
477
00:33:49,034 --> 00:33:51,689
And for me, you know,
478
00:33:51,689 --> 00:33:54,724
I've got my own three children
and my three grandchildren.
479
00:33:55,275 --> 00:33:57,551
And that's my life now.
480
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,896
My mother was...
She was the center.
481
00:34:04,896 --> 00:34:08,275
And when she passed away,
482
00:34:08,275 --> 00:34:10,655
the family has
kind of fragmented...
483
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,448
more.
484
00:34:13,448 --> 00:34:15,000
We're not together so much,
485
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,758
especially my sister,
Margaret.
486
00:34:18,689 --> 00:34:20,758
She's still hurting...
487
00:34:21,586 --> 00:34:23,655
from everything
that's gone on in the family,
488
00:34:23,655 --> 00:34:25,862
and she wants to...
489
00:34:26,551 --> 00:34:28,241
just get away from it.
490
00:34:30,068 --> 00:34:31,310
And...
491
00:34:32,034 --> 00:34:34,068
that's her way
of dealing with it.
492
00:34:38,862 --> 00:34:42,137
I ran away from it
in my own way.
493
00:34:42,137 --> 00:34:45,965
I'm just not a professional
mental health caregiver.
494
00:34:49,068 --> 00:34:51,655
I don't think it's my calling.
495
00:34:55,172 --> 00:34:59,689
My parents
were very clear
in expressing to all of us.
496
00:34:59,689 --> 00:35:03,310
Not just me,
but to my other
siblings as well.
497
00:35:04,344 --> 00:35:05,965
"Please don't desert them."
498
00:35:08,137 --> 00:35:11,655
That was very clearly
my parents' message,
499
00:35:11,655 --> 00:35:13,551
to all of us, not just me.
500
00:35:14,379 --> 00:35:15,896
"Please don't desert them."
501
00:35:24,758 --> 00:35:29,034
I can't find anything positive
and being mentally ill
the way they are.
502
00:35:30,275 --> 00:35:33,620
And it's such a loss
of what could have been.
503
00:35:36,655 --> 00:35:39,862
I'm sure that they have
different perspectives
on that.
504
00:35:39,862 --> 00:35:42,172
Try the 14th corner.
505
00:35:43,896 --> 00:35:47,482
Peter and Matthew
seem like they have
some joy in their lives.
506
00:35:57,965 --> 00:36:01,758
I used to love
to play the pool,
and I'll win it again.
507
00:36:01,758 --> 00:36:05,241
They're not--
They're not totally... I can
still communicate with them.
508
00:36:09,137 --> 00:36:10,827
I don't call Donald...
509
00:36:15,896 --> 00:36:21,586
just because I don't think
there's a communication
between us.
510
00:36:22,551 --> 00:36:25,172
I don't think that he would
have anything to say
511
00:36:26,310 --> 00:36:27,896
that I could understand.
512
00:36:29,310 --> 00:36:33,379
Mary seems to think
that we should try
513
00:36:33,379 --> 00:36:36,344
to have a relationship
with my brothers,
514
00:36:36,344 --> 00:36:39,413
you know, and try
to be there for them, and...
515
00:36:40,413 --> 00:36:42,172
I haven't been
able to do that.
516
00:36:43,448 --> 00:36:45,689
Hi, Mary.
517
00:36:45,689 --> 00:36:49,068
God, you look great.
518
00:36:49,068 --> 00:36:52,000
Hi, Pete. Oh, you...
I just don't
enjoy seeing them.
519
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,586
I mean...
There's not much point to it.
520
00:36:58,172 --> 00:37:01,310
I'm just trying to look
and see what you need.
Yeah, there's more garbage.
521
00:37:01,310 --> 00:37:04,586
Oh, they think
I'm being my mother.
I'm a martyr.
522
00:37:06,896 --> 00:37:09,068
I mean, we always called
my mother a martyr.
523
00:37:09,068 --> 00:37:10,896
- You're doing what
your mom did, though.
- Mm-hmm.
524
00:37:10,896 --> 00:37:13,448
I mean, in terms of
making sure that
they're taken care of.
525
00:37:16,310 --> 00:37:17,551
Yeah. Just let me follow you.
526
00:37:17,551 --> 00:37:20,310
I personally believe that
only through helping others
527
00:37:20,310 --> 00:37:23,896
do you really
find true joy in life.
528
00:37:25,551 --> 00:37:27,448
Kind of wearing off.
Have you seen Michael?
529
00:37:27,448 --> 00:37:31,344
And I think you're missing out
by not helping those closest
to you when they need it,
530
00:37:31,344 --> 00:37:33,172
and they need it.
531
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Yeah.
532
00:37:38,172 --> 00:37:40,965
I didn't envision our family
533
00:37:40,965 --> 00:37:46,724
having become
divided the way it has
in the last five years.
534
00:37:46,724 --> 00:37:51,482
I thought we all had enough
love and care for each other
535
00:37:51,482 --> 00:37:54,448
that everybody would
step up and participate.
536
00:37:55,379 --> 00:37:57,034
I obviously have
a lot of anger around us.
537
00:37:57,034 --> 00:37:59,034
Still, I'm trying...
538
00:37:59,034 --> 00:38:01,758
I'm really trying
to understand
their perspective.
539
00:38:17,344 --> 00:38:21,413
Mother and father
came to me specifically,
and said,
540
00:38:21,413 --> 00:38:24,827
"Please, please..."
541
00:38:24,827 --> 00:38:28,689
There was no one else
that could have handled it.
542
00:38:28,689 --> 00:38:33,172
I mean, they said,
"Please do not...
do not desert them,"
543
00:38:33,172 --> 00:38:35,000
and what I've seen
544
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,206
is that everyone else
in my family
545
00:38:37,206 --> 00:38:38,275
has deserted them.
546
00:38:38,275 --> 00:38:40,551
Maybe that was too big
of a chore for 'em.
547
00:38:40,551 --> 00:38:43,241
No, it's absolutely not.
548
00:38:43,241 --> 00:38:46,275
I never thought I would be
549
00:38:46,275 --> 00:38:49,172
doing this by myself
without you guys.
550
00:38:49,172 --> 00:38:51,724
I never, in a million years,
551
00:38:51,724 --> 00:38:53,965
thought that my siblings
552
00:38:53,965 --> 00:38:56,896
would not be
by my side through this.
553
00:38:56,896 --> 00:38:59,310
You cannot demean.
You cannot put down.
554
00:38:59,310 --> 00:39:02,689
You cannot admonish
your brothers and sisters
for that.
555
00:39:02,689 --> 00:39:05,379
This is not your place.
You're not the judge.
I can be angry.
556
00:39:05,379 --> 00:39:08,172
You can be angry,
but don't be angry
at your brothers and sisters.
557
00:39:08,172 --> 00:39:09,896
I am angry at
my brother and sisters.
558
00:39:09,896 --> 00:39:11,896
Because you think
everybody can do what you can.
That's wrong.
559
00:39:11,896 --> 00:39:13,965
We're not professionally
equipped to handle it.
560
00:39:13,965 --> 00:39:16,620
- She is the only one who...
When I'm looking at her,
- I don't see it.
561
00:39:16,620 --> 00:39:17,896
She's the only one
in this family...
562
00:39:17,896 --> 00:39:19,310
Because I'm willing
to be vulnerable.
563
00:39:19,310 --> 00:39:20,862
Vulnerability is power.
She has done it.
564
00:39:20,862 --> 00:39:22,206
She has done it.
565
00:39:22,206 --> 00:39:24,724
I mean, she's taking care
of what's needed
to be taken care of,
566
00:39:24,724 --> 00:39:26,241
and she will
continue to do that.
567
00:39:26,241 --> 00:39:27,724
She looks after the kids.
568
00:39:27,724 --> 00:39:29,586
She looks after Don.
She looks after...
569
00:39:29,586 --> 00:39:31,482
Matthew.
- ...Matt, Peter.
570
00:39:32,862 --> 00:39:34,310
I couldn't do that.
571
00:39:39,586 --> 00:39:42,379
I wish I could have
helped Mary more. But...
572
00:39:42,379 --> 00:39:45,413
as far as me
making arrangements
for my brothers
573
00:39:45,413 --> 00:39:48,896
and seeing to it
that they have what they need,
574
00:39:48,896 --> 00:39:51,068
what those boys need,
she does it.
575
00:39:51,586 --> 00:39:52,793
She does it.
576
00:39:52,793 --> 00:39:54,896
Do you think Mary's
taken on too much?
577
00:39:58,241 --> 00:40:01,000
Uh, only she can answer that.
578
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,241
I hope that she knows
she can always call me
and lean on my shoulder.
579
00:40:05,206 --> 00:40:07,965
From a distance,
I can talk and visit.
580
00:40:08,896 --> 00:40:11,517
Um, and support her
the best I can.
581
00:40:12,310 --> 00:40:15,551
The survivor guilt
is unbelievable.
582
00:40:15,551 --> 00:40:18,724
Like, why am I not just
bringing them into my home?
583
00:40:18,724 --> 00:40:21,551
You know,
like my mother chose to. Um...
584
00:40:22,655 --> 00:40:23,965
I don't know how she did it.
585
00:40:28,724 --> 00:40:31,241
I think the pain,
the emotional pain
586
00:40:31,241 --> 00:40:35,517
that somebody suffers,
from having schizophrenia,
587
00:40:35,517 --> 00:40:37,862
is maybe worse
than the disease itself.
588
00:40:37,862 --> 00:40:41,068
Didn't I get
into a lot of trouble
in Boulder?
589
00:40:41,068 --> 00:40:43,206
So, it's
really debilitating,
590
00:40:43,206 --> 00:40:45,862
not only to the person...
591
00:40:45,862 --> 00:40:48,172
There's a picture.
There it is.
There's a picture.
592
00:40:48,172 --> 00:40:50,172
...but to the family, too.
593
00:40:51,965 --> 00:40:54,793
We can work on a puzzle.
I like puzzles.
594
00:40:57,137 --> 00:40:59,827
Hi, handsome.
595
00:41:00,586 --> 00:41:02,620
- You're cold.
- Yeah, I know.
596
00:41:02,620 --> 00:41:04,034
- Yeah.
- Cold hands. Warm heart.
597
00:41:05,034 --> 00:41:06,448
Just because
they are schizophrenic
598
00:41:06,448 --> 00:41:08,379
doesn't mean they don't
have their own mind.
599
00:41:09,413 --> 00:41:10,862
I mean, their mind's
a little broken,
600
00:41:10,862 --> 00:41:13,793
but when
they're lucid, they're lucid.
601
00:41:13,793 --> 00:41:18,517
And they want
so badly to be normalized.
602
00:41:19,551 --> 00:41:23,482
They don't want
their condition to be scarier.
603
00:41:24,965 --> 00:41:27,344
You know, to me,
schizophrenia is...
604
00:41:28,103 --> 00:41:29,724
really tragic.
605
00:41:30,482 --> 00:41:32,413
And it's not their fault.
