Also remember that there's no Nobel prize for
mathematics. John Nash won the prize because of a new
formulae he developed for Economics.

John Nash never recovered. People don't recover from
paranoid schizophrenia any more than they recover from
Alzheimers. He just lived his life without medication
and treatment.

Cheers,

Chris.
