Mental illness

Ok, mental illness is way too common. Depending on how you define it, about 10 to 20 percent of the adult population have some degree of mental problem. Depression, neurosis, personality disorders, etc.

Why is this relevant? I now have this problem . A personal injury case that has gone on for years is about to settle. The problem? The has gone mental and feels guilty about taking the money. The other side took a deposition and raised some doubts, so now the guilt ridden feels like maybe he does not have a legit claim. The problem stems from a prior injury ten years earlier which was aggravated by the auto accident. A common problem, but not insurmountable.

So now I have to negotiate with the other side and my side. Hard to remain sane when so many are losing their minds.

So in my usual diplomatic style, I told the he was mentally ill and needed professional mental health counseling! We will see if I get fired or can get the case settled before it explodes. I said if the does not want the money the insurance company is willing to pay then I will take it and give it to my favorite charity, me. Shock<b> therapy </font></b>does work....

Insanity does not run in certain families, it gallops.
