I had a NCO that I worked closely with for almost four years...returned back to the base three years ago...and had a stroke two years ago...and is now bi-polar. The air force gave him a medical discharge and he gets help...but he really isn’t capable of trusting 100 percent. I had lunch with him four months ago...and felt pretty sorry for him...but based on things he’s done in the past twelve months....you can’t judge him “safe”. His wife is helping him but I doubt she lasts more than three or four years.
I can understand this guy in New Hampshire....but there isn’t much that Hillary or state-mandated healthcare (other than paying for the meds) can do for this guy...if he won’t take his meds.
Too many stop taking their meds because, at the time, they think they don't need them any longer. Treating this type mental illness is complicated, because of the vicious cycles these people encounter. They should be monitored all the time, as well as attend groups, or charitable organizations that can help them cope and be with others who have the same or similar illness.
