Title: The Nature of Brian's Illness
Post by: Mahalo on March 10, 2010, 08:13:40 AM
My girlfriend has to write a paper for her psychology class, and she chose to write about Senor Wilson's mental difficulties...she certainly heard enough about him just from dating me. I just wanted to ask the good people here if you know of any good links on the net that address Brian's mental illnesses. If I'm not mistaken he suffers from Auditory Hallucinations and maybe Bipolar disorder? I know that Dr. Landy misdiagnosed and mis-medicated Brian, even over medicating him. What I'm not sure is what the good doctor diagnosed Brian of having. Does Brian still take heavy doses of medication and does he still have auditory hallucinations? Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated, I know this is the place to go. Cheers.

He speaks about it at length in '06. An interesting interview overall.

What a fantastic interview. I know Brian is pretty open about discussing his illness but that was one of the best Brian interviews I've ever come across. The interviewer made him feel comfortable and asked questions Brian wanted to talk about.

I think Hell will freeze over before an article mentions Pet Sounds without mentioning Paul McCartney liking it.
