I'd say that "lives ruined" might also be interpreted "lives improved" by recognition of enemies posing as friends, but I understand that in practice this might be difficult, if you care what other people think.

Not talking about lives ruined in that sense byrd... I am talking about job loss and the inability to find gainful employment or being restricted from careers that are meaningful (medicine, teaching, etc.). Discrimination against those with mental illness is still acceptable most places.

Yes, I understand, and your advice def has a place, which is what I meant by "sad" or whatever.
