Wow are you brilliant!
We have laws on the books re psychiatric admissions to hospitals. 72 hour hold if someone is a danger to themselves or others.
“Support and dialog???” You obviously have NO CLUE about the lack of psychiatric services —doctors, therapists, nurses, etc— THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE either at the VA or in the community!!
I’M sick of all this BLAH BLAH about MH health and guns.
1) WE DONT’ HAVE ENOUGH MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.
2) YOU CAN’T JUST LOCK SOMEONE UP AND THROW THE KEYS AWAY...THAT WAS 70 YRS AGO.
Psychology and psychiatry are pseudo sciences.
Insane asylums worked. 70 years ago is the way to go.
The modern “medicate and release” obviously isn’t working.
Apparently you missed the mark entirely...
The FDA needs to acknowledge there is a problem with the current products being pushed as “safe” by big pharma.
The fact that they are a huge factor with events like this is completely being ignored and becoming more and more common and costing innocent lives.
Please don’t put words in my mouth, I said not one thing about locking people up. My complaint is that health professionals would rather shove through six patients an hour prescribing drugs rather than loose profit spending an hour with one patient who might actually be helped with just professional dialog instead. Drugs should be the very LAST resort.
They are even doing this to YOUNG CHILDREN...
It should be recognized as unethical and malpractice... They should be held accountable for their greedy practices pushing drugs that cause serious events like this.
