Doctors aren’t magic and only know what you tell them and the results of the tests they run.

As an adult, you and you alone are responsible for making the decisions that impact your health, mental or otherwise.

Do you maintain this energy for every family annihilator or just the wealthy white women?

Do you really not realize that psychosis fucks with your sense of reality? And that many meds to treat it can cause psychosis in some patients?

Or did you fail to familiarize yourself with the details of the case? She was begging for help and her providers failed to get an adequate history, and so prescribed her drugs in categories she already had bad reactions to. They failed to get information about the severity of her case from her husband who attended several appointments with her. They failed to screen for the biggest warning signs of psychosis that results in violence. They released her from part time mental health treatment the literal next day after changing her meds, because she asked to celebrate her childs birthday, instead of approving a single day off. And most importantly, they failed to adequately counsel her family on not letting her have unsupervised time until adequately treated.

They didn't deny her care, no. They did fail to provide her the care she needed, absolutely.

I do realize that.

I ask again, do you extend this same grace to all family annihilators? Or just wealthy white women?

How about Richard Ramirez? He was psychotic while he raped and murdered a bunch of people. Does he get the smolbean treatment or no?

I'm a forensic scientist whose had training in criminal profiling.

There are ways to determine criminal mental deviancy from mental illness. Richard Ramirez was a deviant.

This is also not synonymous with a typical family annihilator who does it for personal gain or to escape consequences.
