I have a family member with mental illness who takes medications. It's far more complicated and difficult to manage and understand unless you are involved closely with this kind of thing. Sayings like " well he should have listened to the police" or "Just TELL him"" make little and no sense at all. Picture yelling at your Goldfish, thats how much good it's going to do. Thats the whole point of mental illness-no logic-little understanding etc etc. Out govt in the past and esp those idiots in office now have no compassion or understanding of regular or disadvantaged persons. Cutting funding for every social program in America is not going to help situations like these. Dennis
