I suffer from Bipolar Disorder as well, and it makes me so angry that he tries to hide behind it. No one in psychosis would say 'I have x y z you can't charge me', let alone dismember a person and use a concoction to speed up decomposition, and speed off when stopped by cops. Thats a sane person who knew what he was doing when he skipped medication, refused help & ordered cynanide. He's an adult and he doesn't want to help himself, but blame the world for his problems.

[@lynnehuff9659]

What's with him being able to order cyanide? He was crafty enough to have it sent to a PO. I might be wrong there, I thought Adrian mentioned a PO. Definitely a danger to others, and where I live in the US, a person can be put on a 72 hour hold for that. I don't know what the rules are for a longer hold, I think they evaluate the person's mental state before releasing them. Not completely sure why Ari wasn't at least, put on a hold like that. Surely his doctor had heard how bad he was doing. My speakers are bad and I may have missed something.

[@juicyjules7409]

Right 👍

[@3rrlia661]

Bipolar disorder is the excuse of a diagnosis that psychiatrists invented for people with personality disorders for massive psychopaths. Psychopaths are not depressed they are just bored when they can't get what hey want .Sorry but most of the psychiatrists can't recognize personality disorders and won't let anybody to label as if you need a phd to spot a creepy toxic person. I rather ''label'' than be the toy or the victim of some psycho. PS take care of yourself Iunderstand your frustration and you are right.

[@sidneygreenglass106]

I'm also bipolar. My Dr. told me she was obligated to report me if I became a threat to myself or others. He probably lied to his therapist. He is ultimately responsible for all his actions. It seems to me justice was served in this case. How awful for his Sister.

[@ryanodriscoll]

I thought that. People who have lost touch with reality to know the difference between right and wrong are extremely unlikely to have awareness of that fact.

[@Schnooks83]

I was a pharmacist for 38 years. I had a patient that I called his psychiatrist to ask them to bring him in because he was spiraling down. I ended up calling the office 3 times, practically begging them to evaluate him. He was not seen, and ended up getting arrested for being violent and aggressive in several places in our village. If I could recognize this in a 10 minute interaction, imagine what a psychiatrist would determine in a visit. Our mental health system needs a major overhaul. And as far as I am concerned, HIPPA has been totally perverted to protect everyone except innocent victims.

[@yurritt]

The psychiatrist hiding behind HIPAA just makes my blood boil. One of the first things my therapist ever told me during our first session was that he was legally obligated to report what I had been saying to the necessary authorities if it ever became apparent that I was a threat to myself or others. I don't know if there's any legal stuff that could be pinned against her but I hope she's unable to sleep at night knowing that she might have been able to save Beverly's life and instead chose to do nothing.

[@kaliek5281]

You are absolutely correct. This therapist didnt understand HIPAA and it's exceptions for people who pose legitimate threats to others..

[@Crowwalker100]

If he never told her he was going to kill his mother or anyone else there would be nothing she could report . The therapist would have would have to believe he was a threat to anyone or himself. The fact he was off his meds and his state was going down hill would not meet this. And I am very sure his records would have been subpoena by the court and would have shown this.

Isn’t it different because the mother was the one bringing it up and not Ari? It would make sense if Ari was the one calling the therapist and stated that he wanted to kill his mother which would be grounds to report him.

Literally, the first thing my therapist told me when going into an appointment was that what we discussed stayed between us UNLESS she had reason to believe I was going to hurt myself or others. Granted, the laws may be different between states, but there was definitely something that therapist could have done or tried to do.

In the States, a psychiatrist or therapist has a duty to report if a threat of harm to themselves or others is made.

[@morellapoe2814]

The States specifically have the Tarasoff rule, which arose from the case of Tatiana Tarasoff, who was murdered by her stalker, after he told his therapist he was going to kill her. It set the precedent that therapists are obligated to warn a victim if a patient threatens harm to them, even in the context of a private and confidential therapy session.

If he was saying "I don't know right from wrong" and "I'm insane" then he was trying to establish a mental health defense. The most basic measure of sanity is if the person knows that what they've done is wrong. Ari knew this and that's why he made that statement.

[@mitrovarr]

He absolutely sounded like an idiot trying to badly fake an insanity plea. Not someone who was actually insane. All of those statements were straight out of the "stereotypical things a crazy person would say" folder.

[@pugettepugs6766]

​@@_HimToo why? It's not about deciding whether or not Ari was healthy, he wasn't. From what I understood, insanity defense stands on the ground of "if you don't know you are commiting a crime, you shouldn't be punished on the same terms as the person who is aware of commiting it". Not "this person is not mentally healthy ". Of course he is not mentally healthy, he dismembered his mom. Imo mental illness =\= idk what I'm doing

He was definitely sane. Killing the pet cat was an experiment to see what would happen when potassium cyanide is ingested by a living being. He killed the poor cat and that made him giddy with anticipation of being able to watch his mother go through the same thing. That's just my take on it. Ari is a monster. RIP, Beverly.

Sometimes it just happens. We make the best of it. To hate your mother because of a disability is stupid. She was trying to do something with her life while he decided to dwell on things he can't change and decided to kill her. Maybe it is true that some people are born evil

[@faygriffiths6175]

He is evil but there’s no way of knowing for sure if he killed the cat. He did enough research to understand how it would work without needing to ‘test’ and the cat in his mind was innocent.

[@missmaggie2620]

As the daughter of a mother who was schizophrenic, people do not understand what that life is like for the family of someone with a mental health issue. You explained bipolar & the different variances of the disorder in a way that I rarely hear, because sometimes the media just simply states, "Oh they were bipolar". So people assume it's just some highs & lows get over it. I had a roommate who was bipolar & the maniac high state would last for weeks, with bizarre behavior. I would take my mother's schizophrenic diagnosis over dealing with a person with a severe bipolar disorder if that is even fathomable for some to understand. My mother went off to visit the fairies with her episodes, unlike my roommate who wrote all over his walls, made X-mas Wreaths out of fishing lures & tried to sell them on the street & constantly moving, talking, moving & talking for days & hours on end. He would have a certain glee in the havoc he was creating. So I clearly think that Ari knew what he was doing, but his mental health issue was a 100% contributing factor. Thank you for addressing mental health issues with a broader understanding of the different parameters of a certain mental health diagnosis.

[@TheWhitefisher]

The legal system has such a gross understanding of disordered behaviour. I have a personality disorder... yeah I know what I'm doing. I don't think you fully grasp the gravity of the glee your roommate exhibited. That's part of the whole picture, you know. I deeply resent the idea that because I am able to describe the world around me, this means that I have chosen to have a personality disorder. I've been in therapy for years, now I'm out of money for therapy, and guess what, the answers they teach you in therapy are "shut up and nut up", so you know, you tell me how the hell to cope with 60 more years of trying to pretend like I'm a regular ape like the rest of you.

[@SaVanityVan]

My mother was both bipolar and schizophrenic, and yes, it's hell. I'm nearly 30 and still have trouble sleeping at night from growing up with her. She wasn't a bad person and was a wonderful mother when she was lucid, but it was often terrifying when she wasn't and the moments of lucidity became few and far between. Wasn't as bad as having a NPD father tho, he was a literal demon.

[@whims6278]

​@@SaVanityVan literally this. I have bpd and so does my mom but my dad with npd did the most damage by far and is the least likely of us to ever evolve or change

[@Wolfietjuh]

I get what you are saying, but even then, I feel like you cannot just say "bipolar is worse than schizophrenia". That may be the case in the specific instances you knew, but that doesn't mean it is generalizable. All the same, there are people with bipolar disorder who are simply very excited and energetic and actually are perceived pleasantly by others whilst in a manic state (but the manic state is an issue to the person themselves, for instance due to the over-energetic state messing up their sleep, or making them reckless), as well as schizophrenic people whose hallucinations and delusions cause them to to be severely self-destructive and/or try to harm others. Heck, I recently had a lecturer at my university, she works at a forensic mental health institution, and was describing one of their patients who had been locked up there for over 20 years. A schizophrenic woman who had to be locked separately from even the other patients because she was constantly flickering into a delusional state where she thought she had to commit murders or otherwise the world would perish. They have tried all sorts of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy, to no avail. I just mean to illustrate, a mental health condition is classified under some label or another, but that does not mean every such individual has the same identical issues. Some may be harmless, whereas others are not. It is sad that people don't seem to grasp that. On one hand, there are truly harmless individuals who society are fearful of because of this. On the other hand, there may be these who are truly disturbed in a severely harmful manner, who are then judged as "whatever, they're just scum! they're just faking it to get away with crime!" and stuff like that.

[@k8tina]

I met a schizophrenic young woman while in the psych ward in 2004 (I had severe post-partum depression after giving birth to my triplets). She was generally quiet, didn't talk to the other patients, but did use a journal to write down all the things the "voices" told her. She did end up talking to me because for whatever reason the voices told her I was "safe". Having a background in psychology myself, I was curious having read about the various levels of schizophrenia. She slowly started telling me that she used to stand on street corners yelling at people and the voices were telling her really horrible things to do to others, including her family. She ended up in the psych ward after chasing her sister around with a knife. I wish I remembered the medication she was on, because she said it made the voices quiet down and she felt "normal". I think writing in the journal was her psychiatrist idea, but it could have been her own idea. She said when she wrote down what the voices told her, it made them quiet even more. That was my personal experience with someone with schizophrenia. I was only in the psych ward two weeks (til my antidepressant meds kicked in) but I sometimes wonder what ever happened with her. That said, you're right about schizophrenia presenting differently in those who have it.

[@cinemagirlxoxo]

Oh that psychiatrist is full of it! While it's true, she legally couldn't discuss specifics with the mother, she 100% could have suggested the mother seek emergency treatment for her son. Including an involuntary psychiatric hold. Especially if she herself had the professional opinion that he was becoming increasingly unstable. That doctor just doesn't want to get sued so she's hiding behind HIPAA.

[@dorerd]

[@roh8727]

Exactly! Here in Canada mental health professionals are allowed to disclose some info about their patients IF they think they might pose a threat to themselves or to others. It's just common sense.

[@rationalbushcraft]

She really doesn't understand HIPAA. Though the psychiatrist notes have more protections than other health records there are special exceptions in the interest of the patient when information can be shared with family. And in this case it was easy to argue it was in the patients interest to get him emergency help. My other thought was how is it so effing easy to get cyanide? You can't buy ammonium nitrate fertilizer easily anymore after Oklahoma City but cyanide is easy to get?

[@Ett.Gammalt.Bergtroll]

Ari wasn’t insane in the criminal sense. He claims to not know right from wrong but the fact that he ran from police while being in the process of disposing of his mother’s remains proves that he indeed knew the morality and legality of what he did. Getting diagnosed as criminally insane isn’t as easy as speaking nonsense about demons etc.

[@nancyalexander780]

Totally agree....using his mental health as an excuse. He's a vicious murderer nothing more nothing less.

I'm not sure that's quite accurate. I used to think that same way until a mental health expert told me that it isn't necessarily the case. Sometimes, they don't understand the morality of their crime in the same way that a mentally healthy person would, but they do understand that they don't want to get caught.

@@VioletJoy Nah, he knew it was bad.

@@VioletJoy exactly. I've worked with people who sound much like Ari. They can talk about their condition but can't necessarily control it. To me, the sad part of this is that Ari didn't seem to have the kind of support that he needed.

[@samuelharper9549]

I have known about Ari's case since around 2015 when I first found out. I actually went to middle school and high school with him. I shared a couple classes with him and would see him around school every now and then. I can attest that he was indeed very quiet, and reserved. I never saw him hanging out with anyone. I never saw or heard any of his outbursts, although that was a long time ago (and as the video suggested, he got worse over time). In our middle school art class, we were all doing a group project and the teacher went out of his way to give a solo project just to Ari, which I thought was weird but we went along with it anyway. In our high school health education in class, he admitted to the teacher that he prefers the company of adults over other students his age (and you guessed it, when it came to group project time he was always working alone instead). He always sat alone at lunch, was extremely quiet in class and didn't seem interested at all in making friends. I would try to say hi to him in class and he didn't ever seem to know how to react to me, since I doubt he was used to anyone his age interacting with him at all, much less in a positive manner (obviously he put up some major walls which made it difficult for anyone to get to know him). Another time I tried to give him a fist bump as we were passing each other in the hallway. He looked at me extremely confused and instead, grabbed my fist with his hand before walking off. It was extremely bizzare, almost like he was trying to figure out how to interact with an alien. I will also admit that I too was fairly shy in my youth. I have also experienced my fair share of bullying in school as well. But Ari was on a completely different level that I have never seen in anyone before. All of his classmates may as well have been aliens with how little he wanted anything to do with us. It's sad, because he came off as a very intelligent, albeit unusual individual. He was in AP classes and struck me as one of those extremely bright people who could become a rocket scientist or something along those lines. I never saw him getting bullied first hand, although I only saw him in passing every so often and shared a couple of classes with him, so I will admit there was a lot I didn't see either. But based on how he would act in the school, I can't say I was terribly surprised that it happened. If he didn't have his mental illness or whatever was seriously afflicting him, I'm sure he would have been a nice, social and successful person. It's sad to see that his mom died so gruesomely and that he wound up both experiencing and causing so much pain to everyone in his family.

[@bbqcthulhu1683]

This reminds me of my mum's situation with my brother. He's autistic, schizophrenic and bipolar. My mum adores him, but since he's become an adult he's getting increasingly more violent to the point my mum says she locks her door every night because she's scared he'll kill her, especially because he's taken an interest in knives, and he has even said himself that he wants to kill her. He punches, hits, kicks and pushes her. I've even witnessed him kick the cat on purpose, and he tried to punch me when I scolded him for it. He's had the police called on him so many times, from neighbours concerned about his meltdowns to my mum calling because he's getting too violent with her. I really worry for my mum, I'm so scared that one day he's going to do something to her. As of right now my parents (split) are trying to get him into an assisted living home since he wants to move out anyway. I just hope they can get him the help he needs, and that my mum will be okay :(

Hope you get some help x

[@NickanM]

_Your mom needs to get away ASAP. The social services have an obligation to take care of mentally disabled people, next time your mom calls the police, she SHOULD tell them to take your brother with them, and letting the law enforcement contact social services. They have emergency homes for mentally ill people. If she continues to enable him, she WILL end up unalived. Yes, she is enabling him since he is allowed to continue to live with her after his violence, which tells him that it is totally OK to assault a woman since there is NO CONSEQUENCES AT ALL! So he continues to do it, and your mom is allowing it...._

[@discobikerAndRosie]

If Ari were truly insane, he wouldn't have told the cops he was insane. He might have had schizophrenia but he knew right from wrong. If the therapist could've warned the mother, she'd still be alive. Confidentiality needs to end when lives are in danger.

My grandma is going through this with my father. He has moderate paranoid schizophrenia and she blames herself for it, even though she had nothing to do with it. Grandma has dementia and is remembering less and less and my father is confusing her so much with his delusions. But no one can change her mind about my father and since she is essentially mentally incompetent she's vulnerable to suggestion. People think that schizophrenics are these loud, vocal people who are easy to spot but the truth is that when you see a schizophrenic like that they are experiencing an episode of delusions & hallucinations that is overwhelming them enough to let go of basic dignity. Many are fully aware and will follow their obsessions because it temporarily makes the mental pain & terror more bearable momentarily. I am scared that if I go to help my grandmother that he will find and harm me or take his rage out on my uncle's family.

not true in the u.s. the baker act allows involuntary commitment in or out of a mental health facility for up to 120 hours. it can be initiated by anyone but it is usually those in the medical field that start them. under the marchman act family members can . request an involuntary hold for substance abusers for 60 days up to 90 days if it's deemed necessary. it's restraining orders against violent offenders that can't do much until that individual breaks the terms of the order. it's a stupid loophole that hasn't been fixed yet, you can't hold someone for a crime they haven't committed yet

They have to. Before these laws you could have people tossed into sanitariums just saying hey I think they're fucked. Sanitariums were disgusting, filthy, over crowded and people were abused on mass.

@@Libellulaire that’s a bold assumption.

So I’d say I have plenty of knowledge about mental health. Anyway, the point is that this incident was a perfect storm of factors. Mentally unstable mother (this was pointed out in the video), absent father, mind altering meds, and a child who obviously took all of these things pretty hard. You’re acting like an innocent child is supposed to be ok with a broken home and a head full of meds just because the mom had a job and a new boyfriend. That’s ridiculous. It’s a miracle that many kids turn out ok, despite having parents who aren’t responsible enough to make a home for the children that nobody forced them to have. It’s all statistical, my friend. With a society that permits and encourages this (as evidenced by your insane appraisal of the situation), there will be children that will snap and kill people.

My parents tried to hide my condition from everyone (friends, family, teachers and myself - I found out when I was in my 20s by a psychologist I was seeing at the time), and eventually confronted my mother about it. But yet... I never became like this. I too was bullied and thought the world was unfair... but I never came close to doing anything terrible. All he had to do was accept the help from his mother who loved him dearly and was supportive, but he instead chose to play the blame game and be selfish. People like him make me terrified and sometimes ashamed to be Autistic, because I get associated with sacks of shit like this and people judge me.

I know that not everyone who is bipolar and schizophrenic is violent.

[@annegrey3780]

I have a brother and a sister with autism. While the vast, vast majority of people with autism are non-violent, I do feel we do a horrible job supporting their mental health as a society, we spent a lot of effort on trying to make them "act normal" so that we would feel comfortable around them and very little effort actually focused on their well-being...I also think social media has hit those with ASD especially hard, people with ASD have always had a reputation for being a bit obsessive and that I think in our day and age makes some of them vulnerable to rabbit holes of conspiracy theories and hate, especially when all the "help" they've gotten in life was about other people's comfort with them to make them less "weird" and more "presentable" and was not about helping them with their own emotions and needs...I think we're seeing an increasing number of them just snap. They desperately need mental healthcare that is actually centered on their emotional needs and that is able to help them navigate a changing world (one we're all struggling with, but the rest of us can talk to someone about it and feel our emotional needs are being heard out and met better). Not that this excuses individuals with ASD engaging in violence...if most can choose to not be violent, than those who are violent are responsible for their decisions. But just saying as a trend of seeing increasing cases of killers with ASD...I think part of it is more diagnosis but I think part of it is also an unaddressed mental health crisis of that we've taught people who are different to act like us but haven't given them anything but shame about how they actually feel, which leads to less effective coping.

[@annegrey3780]

p.s. just being clear, I am *not* saying people with ASD are violent, or that lack of proper care justifies killing. I am just saying that, at the societal level, a lot of mental health clinicians are still trained on neurotypical patients and don't know how to treat neurodivergent clients, and (while it has improved) a lot of healthcare and early childhood intervention is still very focused on making people "normal" (making people act and look like neurotypical people) and still is not actually really focused on making sure people who are outside of normal still have the skills and supports they need...which can actually make it worse, as instead of help people who are divergent get shame for being different. Add to that how easy the internet makes it for people to rabbit hole into some horrible ideologies, and that people with ASD may be more prone to obsessive interests and may have even more difficulty shutting it off than the rest of us, and I think we're failing to create a world where people with ASD are supported to mentally thrive...while for most of them that means they'll suffer in silence (as we all do when not supported), for some they may choose violence (as a fraction of all people do when not supported) and while that choice for violence is never justified, I think on the social level there are things we can do to respond with more support (including more clinicians trained on actually supporting people with ASD and better consideration of how social media- while great in many ways, can be toxic and what different populations need to enjoy social media safely.).

Everything started coming together by the time and by the time he was in high school, he was a really good man! He matured earlier than most boys, but he had a few scars from an abusive step-mom! My ex was a dispatcher and his girlfriend, who became the step-mom ALSO worked at the same job. He trained her! In the second grade, Duncan, my eight-year old son, came to school crying. Needless to say, I rushed over there. Duncan had the impression of a wooden coat hanger across his back and he said his “step-mom did it”. His dad was at work training someone else. When I got home, I called my ex on the non-emergency number and began to tell him, if she EVER laid a hand on him again, I would tear her neck off and shit down her throat! He said, “You know this line is recorded!” To which I said, “1. I don’t care, and 2. You can take it to the bank!” He divorced her after about two years later. I’d taken Duncan to the water park in Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO for the 4th of July festivities. The hotel we stayed at had an indoor pool the we could use when we wanted to so…. we stayed wet for three days! We both had a blast! When we got home, my ex called me. He told me he was divorcing the step-monster. I asked if he was tired of the fighting and he said Yeah somethin’ like that. But I knew she was battling barbiturates and was waiting to see if she kicked ‘em. She didn’t. After my divorce from my husband, when Duncan was six, we went to many places and had a lot of adventures! I think that’s why he’s so well-rounded. I got to have my second childhood with him. My first was pretty crappy, but both of us, me and Duncan have survived. I am retired and on social security. He has lived in an apartment on the back of my house and helps me with my bills! What a blessing! Oh by the way, he’s had the same girlfriend since he was 17! He’s 34 now and a plumber!

That mum struggled so hard to help her son but it seems like she was ready to move on from him.

I can fully appreciate why she wanted this separation to happen so both of them could be stable and get that break away from each other. The fact that the phyc, didn’t give her answers to her desperate attempts to help her son, ment that she was going to have to endure and suffer. I fully understand that her son was bitter about his mum passing on mental illness. I also know for experience how scarey it can be to be around a loved one with his conditions. I just feel sorry for them. It’s hard being a carer but it’s also equally hard to help some one who is in that mental state. I’m wondering what more the mum could have done? The answer is nothing. She did what she could. This is why I’m upset about the phyc not saying something or doing something. I also have first hand experience with autism and how her son was obsessive and follows through. The mum cared so much. I’ve had experience with someone with this condition doesn’t take meds. They fully believe there is nothing wrong with them. Some how religion is a theme with this illness. I’m surprised he was not seen as insane. That makes zero sense to me but we have to remember that in court, it’s all about who has the stronger defence which is stupid.

I think we can give his classmates some leeway- it is not fair to expect little kids or even teenagers to know how to deal with angry, unexplained outbursts from their peers.

I have Bipolar disorder 1. I am grateful to live in Australia where we have very good mental health care. I have required several admissions to mental health clinics over the years for periods lasting several months, all at no cost to me. It is sad that Beverly overcame her condition to build a life for herself only for it to be taken away from her own son.

@@amandawoods4051 My life is full of love and beauty. And it’s quiet as fuck. And nothing is fucking sticky! And my body didn’t get fucking wrecked by pregnancy. And I do whatever the fuck I want whenever the fuck I want. And I didn’t pass on the inherited Alzheimer’s that killed my grandma and my mom. But, hey, fuck my selfish choices, huh? Y’all are hilarious.

I've been learning a lot about many cities around the world through this channel.Adriaan is a thorough searcher and when I look back at all south african cases he has covered I realized that he gets all his facts straight,nothing added,nothing removed.he tells it as it is.i know those cases and he told them as they unfolded.true crime documentary no lies at all

Silencers really shouldn’t be lumped in with everything else. Some places (that have any actually knowledgeable people in charge) *REQUIRE* people to use silencers for both their own hearing protection and for noise levels bothering other people. Many guns are ridiculously loud. Silencers help reduce that. They don’t make them anything near “silent” or go pew pew. And stuff like this just keeps reinforcing the narrative that they make guns more dangerous rather than just less of a nuisance. It would be like saying seatbelts make cars more dangerous cause people will drive more recklessly if they feel safer.

[@michelleveronikas4779]

I live in Denver and have never heard of this case. Wow! Thanks for covering it. I appreciate your hard work.

[@Cats-18]

Adrian, you are a good person! That's the main reason I watch your channel. Thank you for sharing your research! Take care!

[@JamieTheSassenachLass]

I have bipolar ll..you nailed it on the head Adrian, I wish people would just take 5 minutes to “learn” at least some of bipolar phases. I just came off 3 days of anger/lows (depression). It’s not something we can just “pullout of”.. it takes time to do that. Stress is NOT our friend, it triggers us and then we’re lit for a day..week..or longer. Thank you for giving a recognition for us bipolars. ❤

[@lynnehuff9659]

Can certainly be a b**ch can't it? I mistreated my elderly parents, who were nothing but good to me. I've had decades of therapy, and taken lots, and lots of medicines. Bipolar II doesn't always respond to treatment. Have you noticed that it is popular to call someone "bipolar" now? Like Oh my ex was bipolar, person nods their head, knowingly haha. Oh, and narcissistic yup

[@SuperJoinke]

Sucks to be you

[@intuitiveobserver]

Pray. Ask the creator of heaven and earth to help you. Read psalm 23. Command the spirit of anger depression to leave in Jesus / Yahusha's name. The spirits controlling you want to destroy you and those around you. The battle is a spritual one. Shalom ❣🤗

[@lynnehuff9659]

@@intuitiveobserver I know you are trying to be helpful, but it doesn't help. Spirits are not controlling people that have emotional, or mental disorders.

[@sleepymonsteraddict]

I think it's important that we establish a system in which therapists can get a patient to stay at mental hospital for a while if they feel their patient is a danger to others. Prefabs if Ari spend a few months in a mental facility on the right meds and with constant therapy sessions to resolve his aggressive behavior towards his mother and sister, then maybe they could've figured something out. The fact that his mother lived so long with this dangerous behavior shows that she loved him and was willing to stay by his side no matter the issues, the reason she wanted to abandon him in the end is because she feared for her own life and that of her daughter.

[@Nostalgic_1]

When it comes to mental illness in people who are or have been deemed to be a potential threat to themselves or others, I believe that a trusted friend or family member should be appointed to be a "medical confidant" for being able to gain access to the patient's mental health records and be able to provide information to their mental health professionals. Too many times, we have seen where loved ones were unable to know what was going on with a mentally ill loved one, and it turned out tragic. I know that psychiatric physicians are supposed to report a patient who threatens violence but they also need to have someone else who has the patient's best interest at heart to be aware of what is going on with them too!

Hi Coffee House Crime. Bipolar & Skitzophrenia is Skitzotypal which is what my 38 yr. old daughter is diagnosed with. She finally got on the right meds but, it took trying different meds until she was on the right ones. These people can become extremely dangerous. I've experienced this with her & many people in the past. Never leave these types without their meds or proper treatment if you want your family & communities to remain safe. Peace & happy times hopefully await you, love, Janine Smiley✌👍🆒️💯❕❗⌚🛋🌠🌚🤗🤩😇😉🎵🎶
