Nah. The reason that so many shut themselves in like that is because the world around them is poison and they just can't deal with it. I bet if you dragged them off and put them to work on a farm out away from the Internet and TV in fair conditions, you'd be surprised by how many make a recovery.

It's funny you quote Huxley because in Brave New World this is effectively what John the Savage did, and he ended up whipping the shit out of himself daily (self-flagellating if you prefer). But the story seems to suggest that he might've been alright had society not come to him.
