The brain is at the center of this mysterious experience called self.

I'm sorry about your uncle. My aunt was diagnosed with severe bipolar disorder and also decided to give up when she was 42. I always wonder what she figured out about herself after making it that far.
My Psychiatrist now is amazing and he has always put ADHD on the forefront and I'm always a skeptic about mass diagnosed psychological disorders but I do trust his research and experience.
