I feel sorry for Terry.  Obviously a brilliant mind if it weren't for the schizophrenia.    I sure hope there's an actual cure for it soon so people like him can continue to do amazing work without all the problems.

Actually, the unique wiring of his brain may be what allows him to come up with interesting solutions to mundane problems, his brain just took it one step too far and it became a disability. There have been many instances where "fixing" a psychiatric disorder deprived the person of their exceptional talent as well. This is a serious problem when treating artists, musicians, writers, etc... that have mental illness. You have to balance solving the issue with not impacting their ability to create. It can be exceptionally difficult, sometimes impossible.
