Yes, I definitely overacted, and I knew it would happen, too, because I'm so close to this type of thing, and I won't divulge anything from Ducay's PM's but his reaction is justified as well, imo.

I was mostly going off these specific comments.

Thanks
Basically saying he needs 24/7 supervision (and "knows that he needs it) is what almost every person with this mental illness faces from uneducated public, and as much as I understand his frustration and concern, these are the thoughts and demands from an uneducated public that result in depression, hopelessness and suicide for a lot of these people.

It's so frustrating, and I'd hope that you could understand our reaction is more than just an "overreaction", it's a "reaction" to seeing it first hand.
