I say it's 100% drug related
I think often times that weaknesses are compounded by drug use and visa versa. But what seems obvious to me is that drugs are involved and it's likely not just pot.
I don't care what sounds better. The evidence suggest schizophrenia. I think the cops would've found coke on one of their many visits to Mason's home. He's the right age for the illness to develop. He fits the profile. Also, just because he's been caught with weed doesn't mean he's a habitual coke user. Most of the people I know who smoke pot haven't even tried coke, let alone used it with any regularity.
The evidence suggests schizophrenia? Some sort of mental disorder - I'll give you. But there are a myriad of things that could cause someone to display these whacked out tendencies.
So Nate. What would tell you that the cops were given permission to search or have probable cause? Showing up at a residence or even pulling over the same car 5 times in that span wouldn't give them any right to perform a search.
I have unfortunately dealt with a number of meth heads and they display many of the same traits we are seeing in Tre. Maybe there are similar traits with schizophrenia but this rapid of a descent and the whacked out nature of what he is doing doesn't fit with my understanding of the illness - nor does it fit with CTE. But I was only a Psych minor so I'm no expert.
Dang. That video shows very very strange behavior. Did he show ANY signs of such behavior last year while on the team? If not, how does a change happen so fast?
My understanding is that it doesn't unless it is enhanced by drug use.
Amen to this. I don't understand all the hate for a troubled young man.
Why is observing and making comment being equated to hate? I think we all would rather he recover or that this none of this was the case. Because we are not jumping to the excuse card makes us haters? I call bullshit.
Bizarre delusions, disordered thinking, irrational anger, change in personality can all be hallmarks of Delusional Disorders, of which, Schizophrenia is just one. Additionally, many of these symptoms can be drug induced (though I would argue cocaine is probably not the drug in this instance).
This is my understanding as well. Certain drugs would enhance and "speed up" the illness. Still - is it your experience that this level of behavior - the bird noises, cooing, threatening to call the White House, etc... is typical in such a short period of time? My understanding is that there is a fair period of indicators and even after the illness has taken hold, this level is rare without the addition of drug use. You no doubt know more and I'm curious as to how it meshes.
Seemed like a lot of hate to me, maybe I'm just sensitive about that demographic.
Underneath the uniform and pads is, believe it or not, a human being. I'm rooting for the guy to not be dead first, and it'd be nice if he straightened out and helped our team.
And so are probably all of us. Don't make it about hate. That's a red herring.
Don't play the role of victim when you get called out for the abrasiveness of your comment.
How about not casting him as playing the role of victim to fit your narrative. It's very possible he's right - not just being abrasive or hateful as some want to portray anyone who doesn't just want to give Tre a pass.
