Help can only be obtained with the patients willingness to explore these dark corners of their mind while being in a safe place. A safe place for themselves and the general public.

In a perfect world, this might happen before a tradgedy strikes preventing undue loss of lives.

To an illogical mind, illogical thoughts, seem logical.

We are on a slippery slope in regard to a person rights as oppossed to the good of the general public. Who's to say?

We should not stigmatize the mentally ill, nor should we criminalize them. We need easy access to professional help for families that are facing these very difficult issues. This cannot happen in a climate where states are cutting funding for mental health services.
