The potential for this illness exists in all people and, under the right circumstances, any man or woman would be driven, like him, to “the other side”. The “other side” perhaps may not be the best way to phrase it. After all, there is no wall between here and there. It lies on the borders where reality and unreality intersect. It is a place both close and distant. Some say it isn’t even an illness. I cannot agree with them. I’m a doctor, not a philosopher or even a psychiatrist. But sometimes I have to ask myself this question. It’s true that to us his imaginings are nothing but the inventions of a busy mind. But to him, there is simply no other reality. Furthermore, he is happy there.
So why, I ask myself, why in the name of healing him must we drag him painfully into the world of our own reality?
