Not only that, but it is horrible policy to allow mentally unstable people out in public where they can be a threat to society if they don’t take their meds.

People thought out-patient therapy and pharmacology would be enough to deal with mental illness, and they were wrong.

However, lets continue to ignore that and ban guns, since Obamacare already got passed and we don’t need the mentally ill as a talking point anymore.

We need to re-create the 100K+ mental health beds we had in the 1950s, and then put the deeply disturbed and most of the homeless there.
We can fund it by deflating the nanny state probing the overall populace and cutting school administration by 2/3.

I think you and others have gotten this just bass-ackwards. It is the SSRIs that are causing the raging outbursts and/with suicides, not suppressing them. Read Robert Whitaker's "Anatomy of an Epidemic" which documents the overwhelming epidemic of abnormal symptoms caused by the psychopharmaneutical "revolution" rather than alleviating them with pills.

Those medicated are often justly refusing to dose themselves with the medicines that they know are making them worse.
