[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 219703, member: 1545"] No offense taken. ;) When it is suggested that these murders were committed 'because' of a mental illness, then all mentally ill people are stigmatized once again. Maybe his mental condition did play a part in the murders. Maybe it didn't. Maybe treatment would have prevented the murders. Maybe not. There is already such serious misunderstanding and fear regarding mentally ill people, that this type of irresponsible reporting only throws gas on a fire in my opinion. I too am frustrated by the lack of services for mental illness. Trust me - I'm VERY frustrated. But, to suggest causation between violent murders and (unsubstantiated) mental condition is perpetuating stereotypes. [/QUOTE]
