Auto-Intoxication and Mishima

I looked up online what exactly it meant to have "auto-intoxication." It is where your colon experiences problems allowing for wasteful chemicals to filter into your bloodstream leading to your entire body including your brain. When I looked it up, it said this about the effects of auto-intoxicaiton on the body..."This process of continued self-poisoning inevitably results in candidiasis and a dramatically weakened immune system, which can lead directly to such common ill-health conditions as chronic fatigue and body weakness, nervousness, depression and mood swings, skin disruptions such as acne and eczema, ulcers and other gastro-intestinal disorders, headaches, arthritic joints, swelling of hands and feet, chronic allergies, bronchial problems, cardio-vascular irregularities (arythmias, high blood pressure, etc.), pathological changes in the breasts, premature senility, epilepsy, and many other serious and debilitating problems."What I found to be interesting is that in Erik's presentation, he was talking about all of these themes in his work about sexuality, violence, death, and blood. The auto-intoxication says that it leads to nervousness, depression, and mood swings. It made me think that Mishima's work was probably heavily influenced by his childhood illness. Which makes me wonder if this takes away from his ritualistic suicide? If you are under psychological augmentation due to illness, does it take away from your desire to have ritualistic suicide performed? If this were true in America would we not force them to be put into an assylum with lots of medication?
