Well that's interesting!
In the early 1960s, Reville, an Ontario MPP from 1985 to 1990, became manic-depressive and attempted to kill himself during his law studies, and his insti­tu­tio­nali­za­tion in a psychiatric hospital contributed to his becoming a crusader for mental health reform after his release. He once said, tongue in cheek, "I became a New Democrat because I was mentally ill," and also joked that he was the only MPP with a certificate to prove that he was sane.
