He needs psychiatric intervention ASAP. He obviously has an illness and needs lots of therapy and some meds.

[ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_gibson[/ame] Gibson has said that he started drinking at the age of thirteen.[98] In a 2002 interview about his time at NIDA, Gibson said, "I had really good highs but some very low lows. I found out recently I'm manic depressive."[99]
Gibson was banned from driving in Ontario for three months in 1984 after rear-ending a car in Toronto while under the influence of alcohol.[100] He retreated to his Australian farm for over a year to recover, but he continued to struggle with drinking. Despite this problem, Gibson gained a reputation in Hollywood for professionalism and punctuality, so that Lethal Weapon 2 director Richard Donner was shocked when Gibson confided that he was drinking five pints of beer for breakfast.[82] Reflecting in 2003 and 2004, Gibson said that despair in his mid-30s led him to contemplate suicide, and he meditated on Christ's Passion to heal his wounds.[79][82][101] He took more time off acting in 1991 and sought professional help. That year, Gibson's attorneys were unsuccessful at blocking the Sunday Mirror from publishing what Gibson shared at AA meetings.[102][clarification needed] In 1992, Gibson provided financial support to Hollywood's Recovery Center, saying, "Alcoholism is something that runs in my family. It's something that's close to me. People do come back from it, and it's a miracle."[10

And now we know.
I believe alcoholism causes a person to be something they would not choose or approve in anyone or themselves.. just like many drug addictions.
I think we've seen over the course of years that Mel isn't the person we had envisioned in our own minds of who he is (based on what we see on screen and in his public life). He is a human serious issues. He has no real privacy so its hard to hide his worst and darkest flaws.

Maybe he's just mad, and I'm not talking angry.

Amen toots.
On the lighter side, when I drink(a rare occasion) it makes me want to cuss and wear slutty shoes.
