OverReading makes one go mad I have seen lot of intelligent dirty mad people I've seen a dirty mad man speaking fluent English it's better you read a little and relax a little then read again and relax till u are through with the reading research shows that people who read and take quick nap allows their brain to retain and absorb the info they took in |

ojaysam25: That is no longer communication, care should be taken because such person will never be a team lead or someone in managerial position, as communication is key breaking down complex things to people. If you are brilliant and can't convey your words with ease, then you cannot communicate. 3 Likes |

From my little knowledge of Biochemistry, the brain (as well as other organs in the body) needs glucose as its major energy source for general cognitive function. The brain has so many nerve cells to aid this function, and as a result, it uses more than half of the entire glucose in the body. For these nerve cells to function, they need to "communicate" with each other with the aid of compounds known as neurotransmitters. A depletion of glucose in the body would inhibit the formation of these neurotransmitters. Therefore, nerve cells won't function efficiently. When someone reads, he/she places a demand on the brain to help him interpret, understand and retain that material. When that person lacks glucose and still reads excessively, it's only safe to conclude that their brain would start to malfunction, hence the "madness" . This could be why your friend got affected by reading excessively. I stand to be corrected though! 1 Like |

I'm tired of reading comments, it's high time I dropped mine. Key phrases * he was no longer communicating with us with plain English, any small question will always be meant with grammar * we nickname him The "guru" * this guy will go to the market to buy something and will begin to communicate with the market people with grammar * I kept on admiring him * he ran out with a dictionary screaming "loquacious" * he ran mad after he was through with his HND program. My observation: The guy engaged himself in obsessive reading just to intimidate others or rather make himself superior via grammar usage. I guess the traders think he is insulting them so they punished him He wanted to be loved by everyone. However, the nickname you gave him, Guru, boosted his morale to the extent that he passed his breaking point. I'm sure he ended in a polytechnic because he didn't pass well in Jamb. Probably reading Keith Moore instead of Modern biology 3 Likes |

There's a very thin line between genius and Madness. That's where you get the term "Mad Genius " from. Many mad people are actually very intelligent if you listen to them talk. It's possible your friend was never okay to begin with. 2 Likes |
