I also know a number of people in the scene who lost their sanity through drug abuse. It is sad, but when you are partying and abusing yourself every weekend for years on end something is going to give.
I'm not saying there isn't a correlation with partiers who do lots of drugs and mental illness, but I have watched a lot of people lose their minds across all my social circles.
It seems like a certain percentage of people lose their minds in their early 20s.

Was it in Russia?
Unfortunately, what made me quit the scene was the transformation I saw on my friends and acquaintances due to drug abuse. I don't know if it is a cultural thing, but I have witnessed people losing some or all of their mental sanity due to drug abuse; one time I was at a party when someone died - in the end I called it quits because I didn't want to become involved with that in any way.
I still like the music though
