Just a suggestion, I know we don't know much about Salinger's personal life,
but I believe I have read he has been hospitalized for psychological reasons.
I tend to think that Seymour is Salinger's way of expressing himself  (compare
the numerous symbols and possibilities from A Perfect Day for Bananafish). As
well as Seymour, I think Salinger expressed himself through Holden, and that
suggests to me, that the ending of TCitR, if you would consider it a
breakdown, was definitely psychological. But that's just my opinion, and I
would be even amazed if anyone were to agree.
