I saw stats recently that something like 300/100K were institutionalized for their own safety (and society’s) 50 years ago. Now it’s down to about 12/100k!
The rest are walking among us, on meds, or off meds.
And what happens when (not if) the economy crashes, pharmacies are looted and never restocked, and millions of schizophrenics are all off their meds at the same time, during a period of massively increased social stress?
A culling at a level only a Pope could appreciate.
Trouble waiting to happen. Lots of ticking time bombs out there.
