Better make myself clear .... in my last email I said:

"But my knowledge combined with my acute instincts, tell me this, "thing", whatever it may be, IS I'm SURE, as deep and complex as that which you sponsor and offer support for, here."

I meant to emphasize that while my friend's issues are more deep and complex than the average, run-of-the-mill disorders, if you can call them that, these issues might, very possibly signify another disorder, as you suggested so succinctly.

One good thing is that since he's under investigation for a crime he will most likely in the near future undergo medical and psychiatric evaluations should he continue to use the defense that he cannot remember doing the crimes. Then he will recieve the right treatments or medication adjustments for whatever the problems may be that are causing his memory loss ect. mental and physical problems are often used as a defense against crimes that have been committed so its standard in most states in the justice system and places of employment to have the person accused of a crime undergo complete medical and psychiatric evaluations. Sometimes these type of evaluations include the person either volluntarily entering a local hospitals mental health unit or a state mental hospital or being involluntarily committed to these mental health facilities during the evaluaton time periods so that the mental and physical health problems can be diagnosed and treated and then the person released once the employer or court system is satified that the person is no longer a danger to their self or others by committing crimes that they are using the mental health defense for. I say this is good though no one wants to be committed to a mental facility for any time frame because now your friend will recieve the correct testing, diagnosis and treatment for his problems. Thank you for the compliments and glad to hear you are going tostay open minded and not attempt to diagnose your friend. take care now. :)
