Booth's Mental health

[Jenny]

Been very interested in Booth's mental health for a long while. Many people don't want to hear about it because they probably would feel as though a mental illness involved in the equation would be a way of letting Booth "off the hook" in a way for his actions. That is not the case - it doesn't let him off the hook at all, but simply might explain how his mind was working when the assassination occurred and perhaps why it occurred. After all, he had to ask what *year* it was on April 14th. I think that incident says something pretty big about where Booth's mind was that day.

Just my two cents. I could write quite a bit on the subject.

Thanks for starting a thread devoted to the topic!
