It's interesting though, here's the article:

Either way, the point is that he WAS receiving what people consider "mental health care" and he still did what he did anyways... and the psychiatrist or pills could have been part of the reason. |
It is possible the pills were part of the problem. He might have also been not getting the right kind of treatment and/or the wrong medicine. Sadly, with this kind of illness is very hard to diagnose. The real kicker to me is that he bought the guns he used to carry out this shooting. I don't know what the answer is as to how to keep people like that from buying guns without limiting other's freedoms, but it seems to me there should be some way we can do that and make both sides happy.
