I was on various anti-depressants, but not for long - I didn't function very well on them. I felt sort of flattened out.

I think drugs were used by me as a way of suppressing my natural spirit.

I don't remember what was going through my mind, but what was going through my body was fear and terror. I had been on the road with Johnny and working gigs and playing a lot of the organ clubs.

The state of your psyche is reflected in your body.

As long as I had easy access to psychedelics at the government-sponsored research project, most of my energy went into psychedelic sessions.

I was diagnosed with everything from schizophrenia to multiple personality disorder.

In treatment, all of the negative things I did were stripped away and I had to start processing my feelings.

The moment I started treating my social anxiety disorder, I started feeling better.

Drugs made me feel more normal.

In 1997, a severe depression hit me, but I didn't respond well to anti-depressants.
