[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 399994, member: 3419"] Here it is--the article you all wanted to see! Very nicely written. [URL="http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/01/09/dr-keith-tragedy-mental-illness/"][B][COLOR=#315771]Tragedy of Mental Illness - Fox News[/COLOR][/B][/URL] The story of Jared Loughners murderous rampage, which took the lives of six innocent victims and critically wounded Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, will ultimately prove to be a story about how severe mental illnessincluding that linked to violenceroutinely goes untreated. By all accounts, Loughner was psychiatrically ill long before he shot anyone. He was described by a high school classmate as a drug user and loner whose thoughts made little sense. Ultimately, he dropped out. He apparently tried to complete a high school equivalency while enrolled in the Aztec Middle Community College, a program offered by Pima Community College that caters to those who have no high school diploma. He couldnt finish up there, either. In fact, police were reportedly called to campus five separate times because Loughner was behaving erratically. A teacher has been quoted as saying that he worried frequently whether Loughner had a gun. Students say he was prone to nonsensical outbursts. He was sent home with the instructions that he not return until it could be proven that he was not a danger to himself or others. While polarized political parties may not be the best way to govern, I believe they will turn out to have absolutely nothing to do with Loughner turning into a killer. His murderousness will have nothing to do with the availability of firearms. His violence will be understood as a result of a severe, untreated or undertreated mental illness -- the kind that afflicts millions of young people in this country. [/QUOTE]
