I hope it brings more awareness to the state of our Health care in general and, more specifically,

to the state of our Mental Health Care. The defunding of some of our programs is shameful and we are seeing the long term repercussions of it.

the individual that wronged society should pay the debt and society should focus attention on those

who are in danger due to undue stresses, anxiety and lack of good mental and medical attention. to put undue restraint on innocent people does society no good and decreases the strength of our nation at the individual level. That is the debt we owe society to handle our rights with good responsibility, to be positive contributing members of society.

Obama is smart and Nancy and Harry both know that this is a voter issue. I hope that Obama

focuses on other ways to combat violence by pushing his Health Care Agenda even further as this would incorporate Mental Health which is the TRUE PROBLEM behind all the VIOLENCE.

GO OBAMA!!!!

Education and proper enforcement of current laws. do away with the war on drugs. Enact a National

Medicare System which would include availability of good mental health. Put the arts, music and phys ed back in the schools. Go to a more European type School structure.

Need JOBS!!

Inner city Youths need some type of Summer Camps in rural settings.

we need to wait for more evidence on that but, honestly I doubt it.

I will not be surprised to find that he is paranoid schizophrenic.

Symptoms
By Mayo Clinic staff
Signs and symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia may include:
Auditory hallucinations, such as hearing voices
Delusions, such as believing a co-worker wants to poison you
Anxiety
Anger
Emotional distance
Violence
Argumentativeness
Self-important or condescending manner
Suicidal thoughts and behavior

With paranoid schizophrenia, you're less likely to be affected by mood problems or problems with thinking, concentration and attention.

Key symptoms
Delusions and hallucinations are the symptoms that make paranoid schizophrenia most distinct from other types of schizophrenia.
Delusions. In paranoid schizophrenia, a common delusion is that you're being singled out for harm. For instance, you may believe that the government is monitoring every move you make or that a co-worker is poisoning your lunch. You may also have delusions of grandeur — the belief that you can fly, that you're famous or that you have a relationship with a famous person, for example. You hold on to these false beliefs despite evidence to the contrary. Delusions can result in aggression or violence if you believe you must act in self-defense against those who want to harm you.
Auditory hallucinations. An auditory hallucination is the perception of sound — usually voices — that no one else hears. The sounds may be a single voice or many voices. These voices may talk either to you or to each other. The voices are usually unpleasant. They may make ongoing criticisms of what you're thinking or doing, or make cruel comments about your real or imagined faults. Voices may also command you to do things that can be harmful to yourself or to others. When you have paranoid schizophrenia, these voices seem real. You may talk to or shout at the voices.
