I am curious about your recommendation on the action that should be taken. I am well aware of how woefully inadequate many psychiatric drugs are in treating mental illness but really what is the better way? While I agree equating mental illness with violence is pretty off base, I work in the system and would love to see how we can help people with mental illness in a more constructive way, I think that rejecting medication is not the answer.
