Without speculating on the Sherman incident specifically, I'd appreciate someone who might have some insight into incidences like this being markers for mental illness.

- Someone who has "never done anything like this" before
- Gets drunk and belligerent
- Threatens to kill themself (not others)

It just seems to me based on what I have understood, that this would fit the pattern of someone having a mental illness. It sounds like what would happen when someone is off medication that keeps them chemically balanced.

What else might cause someone to "lose it" like this who has no history of such behavior? Again, I'm not trying to speculate on Sherman's situation, just wanting to educate myself about a scenario like this in general.
