Will people with schizoaffective disorder be lumped in with psychotic murderers?
  • How can you say the massacre means nothing Carey? Shame on you!

    Shame on you Carey! How can you say it means nothing. The hell it does! As a mental health professional that sort of existential crap really pissed me off. What happened means that sometimes people are very disturbed and when they don't receive help, they can step outside the bound of soceity and inflict damage that lives beyond days, years, and generations. They break the social code we all agree to abide by as members of civilization. If we are to continue to coexist we must find a way to help those that find themselves in dark and troubled waters. The author of this letter was looking for some guidance, some reassurance that he doesn't have to travel the path of violence, lonliness, and horror that the VA tech shooter did. You gave him bupkiss instead. C'mon! Save your rants on construction of societal mores and meaningless for less purposful and dire inquiries.
