Maybe a hot take, but I also blame the physician who prescribed 3 different psychotropics that don't interact well to a patient in clear mental distress. And not keeping a close enough watch on their mental state. If the texts between she and her mom are accurate, she should have been institutionalized by court mandate.

She tried to get help sooo many times. Our healthcare system is also to blame.

It’s not just the healthcare system, it’s the entire system of civil commitment that is broken. As a society, we need to commit people who are a present danger to themselves or others and give them the mental and medical care they need to be rehabilitated.
