If you knew why conflate the two? Ringo is bizarre for sure but Syd had some mental issues that thankfully he worked through. The depression that Syd suffered was touched on in Shine on You Crazy Diamond and was an homage to a friend that the band had to let go. It just seems callous to put Ringo in the same situation…

Gonna have to call a foul here. Syd Barret was the subject of Shine on you Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd. He was institutionalized shortly after the first album. Ringo is a bizarre one for sure but different band and different situation.
