I trust everyone knows who Iggy Pop & Lou Reed are. Iggy Pop was sectioned in hospital at the height of his fame, when he was also writing his most controversial music, apparently criticizing the government. Lou Reed was given electroshock therapy for apparent schizophrenia because his family did not understand his personality.  I have been in similar situations & what's more, as a poet, it happened to me at a pivotal stage in my career & when instead of receiving protection, because I'd had my life threatened because of it & was afraid, I was locked up in hospital as mentally ill for it.
