While it's clearly true that he suffered from depression of some sort, you can't separate that from the fact that he was actively being persecuted. What the DOJ and MIT did was wrong, and it would be wrong even if Aaron was still alive today.

I think a useful way to look at it is, "well, it certainly didn't help."
