Jason Russel's public meltdown

A valid comment about the press's treatment public of Invisible Children's founder - Jason Russel, rather public meltdown:
With all the celebrity illnesses they uncover, the folks at TMZ should have known the minute they viewed the Russell video that he was not in his right mind. It should be beyond the pale in civil society to videotape and publicly ridicule people who are in the throes of an uncontrollable disease process. TMZ should take down its 
video.
About 30yrs ago a future family member had a very similar public meltdown in court (he was an attorney) which eventually lead to a diagnosis of Manic Depression.  It is odd but I recall seeing a short clip of Jason Russel interview following controversy about his recent viral YouTube video - his behaviour and mannerisms' (over-the-top suggested "solutions") had a eerie similarity to that long-ago memory.
