Math history is filled with stories of such mathematicians, be it Erdős or Cantor or Ramanujan. Tragic lives from some perspective. But who are we to judge? They experienced something tremendously beautiful and spiritual. I think the sacrifice they did was every bit worth it. | |

I'd agree it's not a good idea to model one's life after somebody like Erdős, but then, the answer didn't suggest that either. | |

People absolutely should have offered him counsel to seek some therapy, everyone can benefit from it (when they find the right therapist). This is not a good example to model ones life by. | |
