So it's not like the guy struggled with depression like a suburban soccer mom. Cooper: How old were you when the voices started? Wilson: About 25. Friedman: So you were already a successful musician when they started. Wilson: Right. I believe they started picking on me because they are jealous. The voices in my head are jealous of me. Cooper: How long did it take after they started before you really understood what was going on? Wilson: Oh, I knew right from the start something was wrong. I’d taken some psychedelic drugs, and then about a week after that I started hearing voices, and they’ve never stopped. For a long time I thought to myself, “Oh, I can’t deal with this.” But I learned to deal with it anyway. Friedman: When did you start getting treatment? Wilson: Not until I was about 40, believe it or not. A lot of times people don’t get help as early as they should. [/QUOTE]
