re: #114 jamesfirecat

Do you know how easy it is for a person to get the necessary drugs /treatment for that kind of thing before they’ve committed a crime at the moment?

(I don’t but I doubt its easy…)

yes, it is actually easy. There are mental health clinics in every county, in every state that help people on a sliding scale. Doctor patient privalidge extends to a patient who has not committed a crime, or does not plan on committing a crime (I am not a lawyer, so not 100% on this), so a psych(iatrist) or (ologist) could prescribe/treat anyone.
Mental health is imprtant, and there are avenues for those who are troubled.
