But, I think it makes it easier for us to relate on a certain level, and that's why these stories bother us so.bluerosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09454168542120117493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075224319054587651.post-87221039620551917872011-01-15T18:26:38.823-08:002011-01-15T18:26:38.823-08:00so true, bluerose! we know almost nothing about ho...so true, bluerose! we know almost nothing about how meds work, how the brain works. wrong meds are often prescribed. i once asked a neuroscientist if he thought we'd ever understand the brain and he told me, "no." it's so hard for families especially. <br /><br />jaret's parents sound mentally ill themselves, though i'm not rushing to judge them either. having mental illness myself, ptsd and what i term "mild" bipolar disorder--i've never been full-blown manic though close, i do know what psychosis is. bet anything they find he has schizophrenia, but that will not engender any pity. i was simply nauseous reading the commentary after the tragedy. xooxoxoxLaura Tattoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503853041054419287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075224319054587651.post-25651133951545733892011-01-13T13:14:26.897-08:002011-01-13T13:14:26.897-08:00Scary and so sad.
