"The cost of the antipsychotic medication needed to treat his illness in 1972, and thus prevent the homicides, would have been a few dollars." psychiatrist E. Fuller Torrey

Just a few dollars? Apparently Doc. Fuller is pimping for the drug companies. There is no shortage of teachers who aren't out there helping him to rope hyper boys onto Ritalin and Girls onto anti depressants.

He is talking about haldol, thorazine and the like. they are the mainstays of the practice. This is not drug company pimping. This is the reality. Diabetics need insulin and psychotics need anti-psychotic medications. Prior to antipsychotics we tied them into straitjackets and let them scream.

YOu need to learn about this issue because it is in every community

That's an entirely different issue. This article is about severely dangerous, mentally ill people

“There is no shortage of teachers who aren’t out there helping him to rope hyper boys onto Ritalin and Girls onto anti depressants.”

Maybe you should stick to the topic instead of sidetracking into some agenda.
