I realize people hate psychiatrists but the assumption that the psychiatrist caused or exacerbated his mental illness seems less plausible than the psychiatrist simply not being successful in treating an existing mental illness.

When someone has a heart attack I don’t immediately assume it was caused by their cardiologist.

Would you ask an alcoholic to drive over tomorrow night to see you? Or would you ask someone “unstable” to be escorted?

People who cannot be legally held accountable for their actions by reason of insanity cannot be permitted to roam freely unescorted.

Repeatedly we see the call made to restrict gun purchase by EVERYONE when those who are deranged are often identified long before they begin purchasing. A court/physician mandated legal guardian in their company at all time would see to it that they don’t acquire a stash of firearms or rampage in a movie theater.

Some people need to be locked up as criminally insane. Or as threats to themselves and others. DWI laws prosecute those who MAY LATER CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. Not just those who already did.
