Watched about 20 minutes of Gringo before I got tired of it and turned it off. Sounds like a textbook case of what can happen if you take a very bright person and then give them a sudden windfall of success. That is, derangement. He or she doesn't stop being smart and even charismatic and so on. One question always is: what's the next act? No next act and the propensity to derangement goes up. |

Very hard question to answer for those who got rich early, , lived fast, but now are out of the game and direction-less.
A lot of pro athletes suffer depression after retirement because of the absence of the daily routine. You have a lifetime of empty hours left to fill. Some are fortunate and have a network of friends and family to provide companionship and support. Others don't and try to fill the void with sex and drugs. But that just conceals the fundamental emptiness. It's still there, and will reveal itself the second you come down.
