Discussion of Schizofrenia on the TV machine right now (Sharpton)
Nope, it does not shock me... and yes, it has to be seriously considered.
Lesson would be... Cho, Loughner, now Holmes... say with me... ACCESS to mental health care, as in VERY EASY and affordable access to it. In fact, as easy as ... currently getting a gun.

Access to free mental health care? Is that what she's getting at? Not like a crazy person is going to check themselves into the loony bin.
-
Something tells me that the one real bullet point on Nada's resume is mental patient.
-
gnads is assuming that those people might have wanted help. They may have been like most DUmmies and more than willing to wallow in their misery while blaming others.
Any crazy , er run-of-mill DUmmie could get mental help just by presenting themselves to a local hospital.

I may have mentioned some of this before, but here it is anyway.
Several years back I went to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack. After checking me out the doc said that my heart was fine. He asked a few other questions and said that I had had a panic attack probably brought on by stress on the job. He suggested that I learn stress management. I shrugged it off.
Before too long, I was feeling like I was having a heart attack again. I remembered what the ER doctor had said and got out the yellow pages. The only health ad that made any mention about stress was placed by a psychiatrist. Now I assume that a psychiatrist would be considered as in the mental health care business.
I made the call. Got an appointment (I think for the next day). I showed up at the shrink's office. After filling out about 1 minutes worth of paper work I was in to see a mental health care specialist. Total time involved (including the phone call and waiting in the waiting room): about 30 minutes.
The psychiatrist asked why I had come. I told her about the ER visit. She asked details about work. She asked a few other questions that I assume were designed to make sure I wasn't DU crazy. She explained stress and anxiety to me. Told me some things to do when I felt it coming on. She wrote me a prescription that she said she wanted me to try until I felt like I was leveled out. And set up another appoint in a month. Total time involved: about 45 minutes.
The second visit she asked a few questions. After seeing that I still wasn't DU crazy and had a better grasp on my stress we joked for 10 or 15 minutes. Total time involved: about 20 minutes.
Now I'm pretty sure that if I showed up claiming I was a trained historian, special forces, shadow ops, SWAT team, fire fighting news reporter with a good rig that the psychiatrist would have requested to spend just a little more time with me.
With that said, I've never purchased a gun. How does a first time buyer's experience in purchasing a gun compare with my ease of access to a mental health care provider? I'm sure that the type of firearm makes a difference.
As for the cost, the total cost (both visits and medication) was less than $200. Plus, based on our conversation during the second visit she did a lot of pro bono work with one of the local clinics. Since "pro bono" usually means free I'm pretty sure that "free" is more affordable than most firearms.

What you are describing chuck is reality. We were discussing a Nads post.
P.S. Glad you were able to sort it out so easily.

This was brought up before, but......
Don't most universities have mental health services for students?
Also, since he was in the NEUROscience dept., you'd think someone would tell him he needed a check up from the neck up.
-
Is neuroscience the same as neurosurgery? Those surgeons make big bucks.
I was surprised to hear there are still grants that hand out cash to students to spend at will. I thought that went out with defined pension plans and flared trousers.
-
If Nads cannot even spell schizophrenia, she should not be discussing it, especially with her pseudo-intelligent discussions.
-
Access to mental health cannot make a difference if one does not suspect or care that they may be suffering from mental illness.
What Nads means is we need a police state and mandatory mental health checks. Thought police.
Or, maybe, just like in that other Christian Bale movie, we simply need to drug the population.
-
With every new post that Nads makes, she shows more and more just how stupid she really is. I seriously think the troll is a crack addict or a mole. There is no way that anyone can be that stupid.

I know three people personally that are on disability for life because they have mental "issues". Along with it comes "free" healthcare. One is a cousin, another is the ex husband of my hair stylest and other is the brother of a friend of my daughter.
All three of them had access to mental healthcare (and were uninsured) LONG before they were labeled "disabled for life".

That's more typical than not for grants, loans, and stipends, most of them can be generally spent without oversight once disbursed to cover any living expenses or other bills. Scholarships, on the other hand, often are restricted to tuition, books & materials, and possibly a defined living package like dorm housing.

If anyone knows crazy, it's Nadin.

Do you suppose I could get some sort of grant to study her? I've got my eye on a nice mossberg.

Most here might remember the shopping-mall shootings in Omaha a few years ago.
The kid had gotten all the free medical care possible for his psychiatric problems.
The taxpayers of the state of Nebraska had chipped in nearly a million dollars (a few thousand short), and for some reason not clearly explained in newspaper reports, the taxpayers of the state of Missouri had chipped in a couple of tens of thousands. In something like three years.
And yet he went out and shot up a shopping mall and a lot of people anyway.
Society cannot afford to give every nut a million bucks of free medical care.
Even if we were to impose a "stupid tax" on the primitives, we couldn't.
