I first watched this when I was a kid. I thought what Bob was saying was hilarious because I didn’t understand the horrors of mental illness. Having dealt with it myself now, my heart goes out to him. He seems like such a kind, gentle person. It’s hard to believe he’d be in his 70s now, if he’s still around. I’ve tried to find an update post-documentary, but have been unsuccessful. I hope he (and all sufferers of mental illness) found some relief eventually. Thanks for posting.
Missy’s mom Kelly got her point across very cleverly when she said, “You see me a lot don’t you?” “We’ll get your dad to come up more often.” Kelly’s also very 80’s hot!
Bob seems very friendly. He actually articulates himself quite well. I know its obvious that his thoughts are disjointed but you can tell what he is trying to say most of the time. Bless him and his family. Really lovely parents to stand by him and continue to love him unconditionally in spite of the hardship of his illness 😊
Interested in videos about schizophrenia after watching Six Schizophrenic Brothers. It's such a mystery, they still haven't really got any clear idea about what causes it. The families in this documentary are (were?) heroes, dealing with a heartbreaking situation.
I am very impressed by the comment " Bob doesn't have multiple personality disorder, he has a disease of the brain! Many people don't make that distinction. I have DID as it's called now. I thought I had schizophrenia before.
I love these old-school HBO America Undercover episodes

None of what they are saying makes any sense!
Jasper seems pretty cool.

There is hope in Jesus He helped Mr He

Wow. Even Moban didn't help Bob; it was 'the bomb' back in the 70s!@)
Was the music throughout the video intentionally distorted and out of tune ? (the piano especially).
I feel bad for Missy her family seems to think they're just too good for someone who has schizophrenia
How old is this documentary
What ever happened to Bob?
