In heavy denial, Brown Zone people are paralyzed, inactive, sick and depressed a lot.  Totally physically and emotionally numb they have a lack of feeling and are indifferent.  They are turned-off to loving, living, hoping, crying, laughing and dreaming.

When a person suffers a severe loss and cannot express their grief, they restrain it and go into the Brown, apathy Zone which is lower than a victim.

Often the drug addict and compulsive gambler is in this Zone.  Some of these people may even be labeled "brilliant intellectual" and be in high paying jobs.

A good indicator of the Brown Zone person is found by looking at their associates.  Most of them are frazzled by trying and failing to help them.
