I don’t care if somebody is crazy. Do the crime, pay the penalty.
There are reversible MAOIs now, which are better but not foolproof. Even so, my usual reference for mortality on Medscape says only about one death a year occurs due to the MAOI interaction problem ( it did not give incidence of major non-fatal outcomes over the same time period; however, it did say there were two in 2015). It turns out that a Siberian herb I take (rhodalia) is a weak MAOI. I feel it does improve energy somewhat. Same with curcumin, which I take also, although the chemistry is disputed.
They didn’t in a case where a schizophrenic man beheaded someone. As someone else posted here, he’s been unconditionally released.
Obviously a case of Canadian “faith-based” psychiatry (sp?).
Faith-based because the doctors have faith the murdering cannibal will faithfully take his meds.
I’m sorry but, if these men or women had killed my child and if I was still around and physically able to do it, I would gladly go to jail for life or be executed to see them dead. I’d do it for revenge and I’d do it to prevent them from possibly harming someone else and I’d do it to send a message to any else that thought a insanity defense might be a useful dodge to evade responsibility.
Of course, I deny ever saying this. Oh drat! The Internet is forever.
