Humans need to interact with other humans. When deprived of this for an extended period, they become depressed, and start having ';strange'; thoughts.The mind is a complex thing ! Inmates who have been in solitary confinement for long periods of time, are a good example ! I knew an old Viet Nam ';vet';, who lived up in the mountains by himself for 5 years. Went insane; Had to be locked up in a mental institution. I visited him off %26amp; on for 10 yrs.He didn't even remember me ! He died at age 55, while still being in relatively good health.
