In some cases that seems right and it seems to run in families. Certain mental health problems I mean. Others can be triggered by traumatic experiences however.
There was a woman whose boyfriend was on Findlaw. She had witnessed her mother being murdered when she was very young. She ended up driving her car onto oncoming traffic and could not get the mental health care she so needed due in part to how attractive she was. She died in that accident as well I believe did others. The boyfriend was some kind of soldier in KY/TN. The boyfriend had been trying to get her the help she urgently needed through Findlaw.
