and if you were clinically depressed, I would imagine the attention and purpose you had been given by fighting for something would do the same thing. the trouble is, from what we know in the report, no one is telling him he is focusing his energies in the wrong direction.
It seems fairly obvious that this guy is looking, needing even, for a goal, a purpose - something to take up his time and show an end result so that he feels he can achieve something. unfortunately, this is not the way to go about it, and without the guidence to show him that, his mental condition means he is unable to take a step back from it all and see what he is doing. he is now locked in and focused on this. he really needs someone to tell him this is not going to help.
if he losses, he'll feel worse. if he wins, the focus will suddenly be gone as it's all over. where does that leave him? back to an emptiness. the cycle will continue.
placing some kind of blame for the things in his life that have gone wrong (according to him) is not the way to go.
