I have a friend of my family who is a paranoid schizophenia as well as bipolar. She started showing signs in her early 20’s like this. She comes from a wealthy family and fortunately her parents afforded all sorts of care for her. But even with all the money they have it didn’t stop her from breaking out of the hospital she was in, stealing money from the hospitals president, hopping on a plane and headed home where she went to her parents country club they belonged too. There she ordered food off a menu the club lounge and called her parents telling them to give her money for a hotel at a 5 star hotel attached to the club. Crazy!!

She also was violent to her parents and would freak out about everything. We all thought she would harm her parents but with medication abd the grace of God she is going better.

This kid Jared was no doubt mentally ill. I have no idea if his parents tried to get him help but if they did sometimes no matter what you do it isn’t enough.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they declare the kid to be bipolar as well.

I worked with a guy who changed after a stroke...got big-time bipolar and was a total nutcase. You couldn’t trust him at all after that point. The wife stayed around with him because he was the sole bread-winner, but he was crazy 24 hours a day.

Yes, families go through hell..

And society offers nothing to support them, mental hospitals and commitment having basically been abolished .... by the left.

“This kid Jared was no doubt mentally ill. I have no idea if his parents tried to get him help but if they did sometimes no matter what you do it isn’t enough.”

Once they can no longer paint this kid as a right-winger, he’ll become a poster boy for Obamacare. No doubt his parents couldn’t “afford” treatment because of the evil insurance companies.

And, by law, once a person turns 18, he and not his parents get to determine whether or not he gets psychiatric care. Unfortunately, the insanse person often does not realize he needs the help and will not seek it.
