“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
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
Thank you!!!
The SMI people cant help it as they have an illness..and some are a danger to society sadly.
Maybe somebody here would care to tell me if they’d like to let a woman out on the streets who killed her baby and cut it up and flushed in down the toilet in a hotel room and not have anyplace where she could be watched and made sure she took her meds.
And believe me..there is just such a case in the USA..I’d get myself in trouble if I told you where. My wife took care of her. Its not in AZ.
I do know people on these drugs. They still need occasional institutionalization and frequent psychiatric visits. Caring for them is not a few dollars. And even more disturbing, when let loose they breed. Whatever genetic mis-wiring they have then gets passed onto a new generation. Again, more expense. This is eugenics in reverse.
