[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I feel sorry for him. Something is just not right. I think it is horrible that he wasted police resources and was also willing to trash those brothers but something is just not right with him.  He needs help and not jail. Shame i. his family for allowing this to go on and on. They clearly know he has some mental issues.[/quote]

He clearly has a personality disorder, i.e., Narcissistic Personality Disorder or Antisocial Personality Disorder.  He took issue with something about security at his show or letters, and he was gonna teach those producers or whoever a lesson.

T[b]hat's not a treatable mood disorder[/b] (i.e., depression, anxiety).  Give me a break.  We should not turn this around like he was a poor depressed man victim.  The victims were the police department and the public, especially people who felt personal horror and pain believing his story.  Where is their apology?  He isn't even sorry.  No, he is digging his heels in.  [/quote]

That's actually incorrect -- well, it's correct that it's not a mood disorder, but it's incorrect that personality disorders aren't treatable.  DBT was developed to treat personality disorders. 
 I think it's even more effective with anxiety, OCD or mood disorders as well--but it can significantly help a lo of people with personality disorders if they acknowledge they have a problem and need treatment (which some do).  It does seem like a personality disorder to me, maybe borderline, as they can sometimes react in really outsized and irrational ways when they feel that their needs haven't been met.  DBT is all about giving people the skills to deal with things in a more productive way.[/quote]

You are splitting hairs - isn't it true therapy has a very low success rate for a personality disorder?  Like single digits?  It's a personality for goodness sake anyway.  Good luck changing a bad personality.[/quote]
