Really bizarre and sad. Strange dissociation - he had the clarity to warn the flight attendants he needed to be restrained or he would do it again, but also couldn't stop himself from trying the emergency exit later?

Just a strange story all around. He blames it on having taken mushrooms 48 hours prior, but that seems a stretch to have this affect. Regardless, seems like a major mental health problem.
