Blind item speculation-Kristin Cavallari's brother schizophrenic, she was worried about image

[Anonymous]

You don't know the whole story. Mental illness is painful for so many. I know the mental illness is different,. but I had a close friend who is still an alcoholic. I was emotionally supportive through several stints in rehap which her sister helped fund, the breakup of her marriage and much more. Her sister and I both have since distanced ourselves. She lashed out at us both one too many times and it got to the point where she really didn't have any desire to quit.

He's currently confined and is in a hospital full of ones like himself. The place reminds me of 12 Monkeys only they have their own rooms. Locked up at night, drugged during the day.

Scary ass shit.

Thanks for adding to the stigma. Yes, like all people some people with schizophrenia are violent.

He didn't commit suicide. And who is blaming her? If she was more concerned with her image than helping her family, that is pretty shitty.

The implication is that if she had funded his rehab, he wouldn't be dead. So yeah, that's blame. Why is it her responsibility? Kristin is not exactly from a poor family. Why aren't you asking these same questions of them?

Dude, have you ever tried to get a mentally ill person, particuraly an unmedicated schizophrenic, to agree to hospitalization? I have. It is vitually impossible. The only times in the last 15 years where we have ever gotten my MIL hospitalized/in assisted care/rehab was when the court ordered a hold on her. And for every 4-5 times we called the cops and begged them to take her in on a mental health hold, only once would the cops actually take her in. So in 15 years, MIL has been hospitalized about 10-12 times. None were voluntary, and each typically required 5 welfare checks before she was considered crazy enough to be placed on an involuntary hold. The system is broken and no amount of money will help you.
