Because if you have schizophrenia you can clearly be depended upon to take your pills.
Put away in Psych for life, that’s for sure.
Prison? I don’t know. I’m not smart enough.
I’ll tell you one think.
When I had depression after my pop died, I was about 15.
The psychiatrist gave me a script for Nardil, and MAOI, and A LIST OF DOZENS AND DOZENS OF FOODS AND DRINKS THAT WOULD CAUSE A STROKE IF I ATE THE FOOD WHILE TAKING THIS PILL!!
So you give a semi suicidal person a pill and then the list of foods to commence suicide with or at least roll the dice with.
I hope those pills are banned now that SSRI and SNRIs are available.
If a person is incapable of knowing right from wrong given a mental condition,that person MUST not be allowed to roam freely in Society.
Either Institutionalize them or force a care giver to monitor the person 24/7. If they fail to take required medication to curb condition-lock them up.
MAO Inhibitors are not banned. I managed to take them only a few days while in college because of fears about the side effects. Worried about the thin slice of cheese in a cheeseburger, which was ridiculous. I should have continued. The severe dietary side effects are actually limited to particular types of cheese, etc., and are probabilities, not certainties.
