[QUOTE="donna723, post: 266241, member: 1883"] As far as some kind of "mental health registry" ... that will never fly because of the HIPPA laws. Besides all the other very obvious reasons that this is a BAD idea, it would tend to penalize those that were actually being treated! And it would do no good! Who would have ever thought there was any reason to be alarmed about the medical student ... until he started killing people! Even in the case of the prison inmates we work with, their mental health diagnoses and anything else about them, like what medications they might be on, is strictly confidential, just like their medical records. Even the staff isn't allowed to have this information unless they have a specific reason to have it. So to have some kind of "registry" of everyone who has ever had mental health issues would never be able to happen. [/QUOTE]
