Brian Wilson suffers from dementia: his family requests guardianship of the Beach Boys genius. Brian Wilson is 81 years old and suffers from "a significant neurocognitive disorder (such as dementia)," according to the family's petition.
A doctor cited in the documents claims that the creator of masterpieces such as Pet Sounds and Summer Days "was easily distracted, often even when aware of his surroundings" Brian Wilson has suffered from mental health problems and was already under guardianship 30 years ago, when his family confronted controversial psychologist Eugene Landy.
