sad *voices telling him to do bad things* really sad things can happen 2 a human being

This is sad and terrible.

The article doesn't specify what kind of treatment he was recieving for schizophrenia. It is a grim disease. My fiance runs an outpatient home for schizophrenics. They take lots of drugs, but sadly there is no cure. They aren't violent, few Schizos are.

It would be a real shame and an additional tragedy if this guy wasn't recieving the right care for his disease and this happened.

It sounds like he should have been institutionalized back when he started hearing the voices. His family and shrink should have been very concerned he collected swords if he was revealing violent thoughts and urges. That is a sure sign of a need for serious care. Perhaps more on this side of the story will come to light.

Schizophrenia is a very sad and often misunderstood disease. An old school friend of my brothers was treated for it since he was a teen. Thorazine, among other things were used. He is very strange. Self absorbed and impulsive. He was found by police wandering the streets in the wee hours of the morning. He was agitated, weilding a pistol, and muttering to himself. He got into a shootout with the officers. Though he was shot multiple times, they were minor wounds. He was lucky beyond belief! No one else was hurt. He hadn't been taking the medication regularly and was vividly hallucinating that "they" were out to get him. Anyone could have been "them" as "they" were always disguised. I blame his parents for not monitoring his medication. The idiot prosecutor wanted the insanity plea thrown out despite the medical record. He was institutionalized temporarily and is back out. God hopes that someone watches his medication from now on.

sounds like something familiar that had happen over here.
