Exactly. That's one reason we have a special ward at Western State Mental Hospital where I used to work just for people like him. One thing we were never allowed to do and that was deprive patients and inmates of food or water. As a matter of fact when all patients first come in they alwats put me on their first 24 hour watch because I suffer from a disease that causes severe dehydration so I know what to look for. People, never, never deny anyone of water. Brain damage and death can occur rapidly if there is another underlying medical/mental problem.
