45. Considering he hadn't communicated with family or friends

for 6 months makes me wonder if mental illness is involved. Ted Kaczynski had been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic, but refused to use the insanity plea, saying he had nothing wrong with him.

So the question is, does someone who is mentally ill KNOW they are mentally ill and accept it? My dad was bipolar and even after being picked up by the police and taken to a mental health facilities twice, refused to believe anything was wrong with him.

I wonder if Mangione is schizophrenic or has schizoaffective disorder. Stress can trigger mental illness in susceptible people and chronic pain is certainly a source of stress.
