If he has a regular job and is getting psychological help of some kind, I'd say he's on the right track. Mental illness isn't funny, and I think this man has some very real problems. But no one (except murderers, etc.) is beyond redemption... and it sounds like he's doing the right thing.
It has been said that he hides behind the internet all day, and that his rosacea is not under control; but if he has a regular job interacting with people, then either those criticisms are wrong, or, even if they've been right in the past, he's now attempting to move in a better direction.
I also reached a low point in my life, and I understand the feeling of, "well there must be a path I can take" because otherwise there is no hope. Maybe our impressions of him were formed at his low point. I hope so. I know that for myself, a social context (college) has helped me even though it can be scary. So I personally hope that his new job is part of a healing process, of getting back "out there".
There's nothing wrong with discussing Nase or his past, but it's the gossipy,
schadenfreude tone that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
