In the police report, it was listed that Schiavo had a number of drugs in the kitchen, prescribed by a psychiatrist. Interesting. The "innocent" man was having mental "issues".

That is untrue. The St. Pete Police Department report says, "Various bottles of prescription medication were present in the kitchen; however, only two were prescribed to Theresa."

There is no indication in the police report as to what medications--psychotropic or otherwise--were contained (in either the medications prescribed to Terri Schiavo, or in the other medications found), nor is there any indication in the police report as to the identity or medical practice speciality (such as "psychiatrist") of the person subscribing the medication, nor is there any specifics as to how many (total) prescription medications were found and to whom (or what) they were prescribed.

Like the Schiavos apparently did, I keep our active prescription medications (the ones my family is taking RIGHT NOW) in my kitchen, as they are so often best taken with food and on a daily schedule which coincides with our meals. A quick check on my kitchen cabinet shows me that, of the 5 prescription medications currently in play in my home, 2 of them are mine, 1 of them is my husband's, and 2 of them were prescribed for the dog (but all were filled at our corner Walgreens). While each medication has the prescribing doctor's name on the bottle (as well as the name of the person/critter for whom they are prescribed), none of them indicate the practice specialty of the prescribing physician--such as internist, cardiologist, or veterinarian.

Michael Schiavo discussed his consultation with a psychologist (AFTER Terri Schiavo's cardiac arrest, not before) during his 1993 deposition. Perhaps you have confused that deposition with the 2/25/90 police report?

It is in the court transcript as to what he was taking. It was psychotic.
