Annie's brother was schizophrenic, but his suicide note at sixteen (sixteen being remarkably young for a schizophrenia diagnosis, most cases emerging in the patient's late 20's or early 30's) blaming her for "putting people inside him" goes hand in hand with what happened with Annie if taken literally.
