[@katyty1496]

"I'm not mentally ill anymore". Whoa. That's scary. Schizophrenia is forever and statements like that make me wonder if it's only being in the facility that keeps her on her meds.

[@LangkeeLongkee]

People with schizophrenia notoriously claim their cured ALL the time. That is very typical especially if they're in treatment. Because of their delusions and such they tend to associate imporvment with being cured, many go off their meds and hide it because they think they don't need it anymore and try to play off hallucinations and such because they don't believe they need help still. That's just even more proof of her mental state.

[@mykenzeelayne4061]

Sometimes that is why some of them stay on medication. Speaking from someone who's been there (not schizophrenia) but I didn't think I needed meds either.

[@shelbylucero3460]

That's what I was thinking too! Once you have a mental illness like that, it doesn't just go away. It's more or less a life long thing. I'm in therapy and on meds for depression but I'm not magically not mentally ill anymore. I feel like she's not remorseful. Just her attitude is really suspish.

[@MsRose00]

It is. Unfortunately once they leave the facility, they tend to no longer take meds.

[@charlessynowiec3876]

schizophrenia can be cured by God cuz it’s just demons in your head. but this girl doesn’t seem to have any care to get right w God

[@lacexv]

Cases like this are always so confusing. It's nearly impossible to tell if someone was truly "insane" at the time of the crime. How would you go about treating someone like this and reintroducing them into society? There needs to be more research about mental illness, this needs to be prevented in the future.

[@Rose-hh7mk]

Well she wasn't medicated at the time of the murder. I feel like haloperidol could make a big difference. Having her unmedicated and in a prison could put a lot of people in the prison at risk.

[@kateealer7]

Just a reminder, insane is a legal term, not a psychological one. It always annoys me when people use the insanity defense, because it's like, "But, WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!"

[@Shearedfield]

@@klaudiaarriera9989I mean schizophrenia doesn’t usually develop until mid to late 20s. She’s only 18, so she would have early on set. So it could be a newer development. Best left to doctors to figure out.

[@alexisdalton3560]

Aside from her mental illness mentioning her own injuries and saying she’s “no longer mentally ill” doesn’t sit right. Mental illness is lifelong even when treated and there’s something fishy mentioning her own scars. Also her “abusive” childhood and her case of assault in hospital having inconsistency with her report she says she filed but doesn’t exist is suspicious to me

[@juicyjules7409]

[@DamselOnDrums]

I'm pretty sure schizophrenia isn't a mental illness that can be "cured", just managed. Usually that means through medication, and SO many people will stop taking their medications as soon as they are no longer forced to (with any mental illness). So in that regard, I don't believe she could ever be fully let out into society, assuming she is medicated. Who's to say that she won't relapse. As far as her allegations go, it may be true, it may not be. In either case, it's sad.

[@XYZ-kb3mm]

jehovahs witnesses are famously abusive, and those institutions are shit shows. unreported doesn’t mean it never happened, and cover-ups happen more frequently than you think. i don’t think she was schizophrenic, but i’d bet that she was abused by her parents and assaulted in the hospital.

[@raefleenor1215]

I agree. I she was truly experiencing remorse I don’t think she would be talking about how hard it was on her or how she was injured. Even if she was experiencing a schizophrenic episode you would think she would express some remorse for brutally killing someone else. During her interview with the police she was at least saying the thought was disgusting.

[@OpenClams]

So did she kill her because she thought she was “Cecelia” or did she kill her because she suffered abuse? What she’s saying isn’t consistent which makes her excuse suspicious

[@nafiamaliat27]

It’s so confusing but here’s what I’ve theorised a bit. I guess, the rage towards her mother may have come from the abuse (I use may cause there’s no way I can be 100% certain that she was in fact abused) and that may have led to the ultimate psychotic break she had. However, that psychotic break sent her into a full blown delusion, likely due to the anger she felt towards her mother. “Cecelia” is a product of her delusion as opposed to just simple creation. The reason the abuse is not adding up in my head is if she was abused by both parents, how come only her mother suffered? Could it have been a case of whoever was there first? Maybe it was just the mother who abused her? We’ll never know. Truly a tragic case tbh.

[@alexissagraves]

From my understanding schizophrenia is brought out by trauma. So I think the idea is she was abused and it caused her to become schizophrenic and therefore thinking her mom was “Cecelia”. So both.

[@Kke371]

@@alexissagravesthat’s not how schizophrenia works, it has been found that some people who have the trait had it brought out because of abuse, but majority of cases are regular people who lived normal lives. Many of my patients are schizophrenic, and had normal upbringing’s.

[@lindsayweathering]

It’s very possible that her claiming abuse is a cop out. I know a lot of people hate religion but being raised a certain religion isn’t necessarily abuse. She’s so vague about the abuse that it seems sketchy to me.

[@SecretsID]

@@alexissagraves A trauma can trigger a crisis, but the illness is already present. Substance abuse can cause the same phenomenon. Eighteen years old is also a very common age for the onset of symptoms in many individuals.

[@LucaSitan]

The tragic thing about schizophrenia is that it hits so unexpectedly during adolescence :( Its almost impossible to put safety measure in place beforehand, as it develops during those years and usually reveals itself in form of a violent sudden psychotic break. But since it is a lifelong incurable mental disease, Isabella needs to be - at the very least - under psychiatric supervision for the rest of her life.

[@michellejones5541]

This is why I have a problem with the diagnosis of schizophrenia, she has shown behaviour issues since she was a young child and to such a degree that she was sent to live with her father at the age of 7 because her mother was frightened of her. She had also been getting in trouble at school because of her aggression towards other children and staff. When she was arrested she tried to pretend to be someone else and kept up that charade for hours on end

[@devangreedier1539]

To me those are signs so I have mix feelings, like would things have been different if she was treated sooner

[@nursenicole222]

@@devangreedier1539the signs are too early for schizophrenia, it usually hits in late teens/ early twenties. It’s extremely rare to hit early on, though I guess it’s not impossible. I think it would be possible for different mental issues could have started early on. I watch the interrogation and want to say she is lying, but I am definitely an expert. I would love to see some good body language experts analyze this. That would be so fascinating.

[@AloneInTheGarden]

@@nursenicole222Toward the end of the video, it mentions she was allegedly abused as a child. If true, that could’ve explained the earlier behavior issues. I have a grandfather who is schizophrenic. It would be incredibly hard to fake and make it believable, especially long term and when being evaluated by experts. I think her saying she’s all better and no longer mentally ill is quite a stretch, though. She may be on anti-psychotics and receiving treatment to keep her schizophrenia at bay, but she’s not just going to be magically healed.

[@NikkiSixxIsMyGod]

I don't know if she is schizophrenic or psychotic or what...she definitely is responsible for killing her mother. If she is on meds to control her mental illness, ok, but if released to the public she can easily go off meds and do harm to others. I say she needs to stay put where she can definitely get the help she needs and be monitored. There just are no guarantees if she is released. It's truly sad no matter what.

[@2010kgurl]

As a nurse, yes she can absolutely become a functioning member of society and remorseful if on medication, however the issue with this mental illness is that their compliance with medication is not typically great, and if she stops taking it, she is again a danger. But schizophrenics are not psychopaths and they do feel remorse.

[@annakorovchenko4524]

Yes, you are so right. My father has schizophrenia and he's a great father. He takes his medications everyday, but only because my mom takes care of him and reminds him to take them and makes sure he does. I know for a fact if it wasn't for my mom, he would be struggling to take care of himself. Schizophrenia is really upsetting for the entire family honestly

[@annakorovchenko4524]

My father was never violent to this degree though and when he was angry and defensive, it was because he was scared and in a delusion. But I do understand how you can be so warped and terrified of your own mind that you can be driven to murder like she did

Definitely a hard one because she was clearly having an episode when the murder happened, but then listening to her interview in 2020 and how she brought up her hand getting injured during the attack... like that does not sound remorseful at all.

[@micahlehman6806]

[@amya7637]

[@mollyskye3216]

Yeah I noticed that too, she called it a fight but she premeditated it and brought a knife and a baseball bat. Even if she wasn’t in the right state of mind at the time that’s still an odd way to talk about it after supposedly being rehabilitated

[@chelsbak]

Maybe because she wasn’t mentally present or something? So it’s like she’s detached from it and doesn’t have that same connection to the event? I’m unclear whether she remembers the event or not or was just told/shown about it. If she doesn’t have a memory, I could see why she may appear less remorseful and point out something like the scar…which is physical proof to her that this really did happen. But again, it would all come down to her memory of things and then her ability to fully comprehend as much as possible what happened if she did not have a memory. It really is a tricky case and there are so many what ifs

@@straberryshinigami15g97 what you see as "ableism" some others may see as "enableism". Being critical of her brutally revenge-murdering someone she already hated intensely and then having no remorse for it while being very narcissistic is not ableism. I don't think it's unreasonable to have honest skepticism about her mental state, especially because psychologists and experts themselves often have completely different diagnoses for the same person. Often the prosecution presents one expert diagnosis and the defense presents a different expert diagnosis. Of course it's indeed likely that she was suffering from schizophrenia but it's not unreasonable to have skepticism about that.

My daughter was found covered in blankets and pillows. My ex took me seriously and left the amusement park to check. Fortunately he was in time and my baby girl was was okay! My heart sank that day almost losing my daughter! Scisophrenia is beyond serious and they do try to harm others! I wish there was a cure but unfortunately it goes misdiagnosed or they stop taking meds which my ex mil did a lot! It's a horrible disease for anyone to go through or a family to go through trying to help. They think the meds are harming them so they stop in so many cases. Very sad! The problem is if they aren't monitored on taking meds, then it only gets way beyond control. Sorry for the long story, but yes they do try to harm others! God was on my side that day! My daughter is now 23 and I am so very grateful!

My mother is paranoid schizophrenic. Currently in my 30's I've gone low low contact because of my children. She believes I've been replaced by "them" and often hurts herself attempting to remove items placed in her also by "them". This person is only safe to be around while she is medicated. When someone lives on their own independently there is no guarantee they're taking their pills.

[@crystalharding1167]

Reading your comment touched my heart. And while you left it 5 months ago, I'm just reading it now. I also have schizophrenia in my family. I lost my uncle and my dad because of it. My brother now struggles with it as well. Keeping him on his meds was a battle and a half, but now there are medications that are a once a month injection. This has been amazing for my brother so far. It took time and patience and some hospitalization to get the right concoction for him, but he's back. It's been incredible for our family. Maybe worth looking into. God bless and best wishes.

@nelljnfr I don't mind at all! Him and I have different moms, so it was his grandma and aunt on his mom's side. I haven't necessarily forgiven him, but I knew beforehand there were unaddressed issues and I didn't have any say to get him help, so I'm more so focused on trying to make sure he gets institutionalized. If he gets sentenced to death, though, I understand and won't fight it. His mom's side of the family has disowned him. They ask me for updates but have no interest in seeing or speaking to him. He hasn't communicated with any family since his arrest. We're still unsure if he knows what he did or why he did it.

I am so sorry you had to go through that. My twin brother developed schizophrenia many years ago when we were teens.

One time he broke into someone's house to escape the robots and they found him totally freaked out in the basement...we're lucky one of them knew my mom and she was able to get there in time to de-escalate things...I would like to think my brother would *never* actually hurt anyone, but he's huge and was very scared and thought his life was in danger...so I don't know. He's luckily doing much better, he's in a group home and has lots of help. But I can't imagine how things would be if he had hurt or killed someone before he got help.

There are so many nuances in cases like these. I wonder when the onset of her schizophrenia began, or if this is something she was living with for a while that had gone unaddressed regardless of warning signs. It’s hard to say.

[@RainyDaysAllTheTime]

I agree with you on that. And her parents being Jehovahs Witness probably means she would never have gotten treatment being as they do not believe in a lot of medical treatments. This more than likely could have all been avoided had they gotten her counseling when she showed aggression at a young age instead of just sending her to live with dad.

if she was psychotic during this incident, why would she deserve to be put in prison? do you know how awful those places are? why would you advocate for someone with the most severe mental illness to go to the mental-illness-making-machine (prison)? that sounds like punishment for the sake of it, a barbaric eye for an eye punishment style. if she was genuinely in a psychotic episode, it’s literally not her fault, hence the “not guilty” part of her verdict. i am playing devils advocate here, as i think she’s lying about her schizophrenia. but this goes for all psychotic people who don’t know they’re psychotic.

There’s so much misinformation in this comments section.

If she wasn’t responsible for her actions then she doesn’t need to be “rehabilitated” she just needs to be stable on treatment so that she won’t develop psychotic delusions again. She was found not guilty by reason of insanity - that means she doesn’t need to serve a minimum term, she needs to remain in hospital treatment until she’s well enough to be managed in the community. Talking about this case as if she was responsible for her actions and then casually throwing in at the end “and she had schizophrenia and was found not guilty by reason of insanity” before debating how much “time she should serve” for having a severe illness is ridiculous
