It is in this tribute that William Deutschendorf provides further information regarding Hank’s battle with schizoaffective disorder, revealing that he was originally diagnosed with it in August of 2008.
Hank and William Deutschendorf went on to achieve great things with their martial arts school in the San Diego area, though.
This disorder combines bipolar with schizophrenia, and as a result Hank suffered from depression, mania, delusions, and hallucinations.
In recent years, their school has had 190 active students, and William Deutschendorf’s impassioned tribute to his brother on the BRB Foundation page proves just how much he loved and respected his twin.
