As I say, I really think the person is going thru an episode.

This is pure speculation, apparently there were acquaintances of the person who said they are really going thru something and the acquaintances are saying they really need to find real help.

and I really hope they do get help. Mental illness and brain related disease are not something that should be taken with a grain of salt and I don't wish it even on people who I consider bad in real life
