Santa Barbara Spree Killer Treated by "Multiple Therapists." Police, Social Workers Aware. | The Truth About Guns

That didn't have much fyi. The last thing I happened to hear was 'personality disorder'. Here's a link--I chose Psychology Today to give 'basic' examples. So complex that even when the most qualified experts discuss it----it almost defies description. Susan Smith---don't feel like trying to think of others --not even sure now what her diagnosis was--drowned her children.

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/hide-and-seek/201205/the-10-personality-disorders

<Today DSM-IV defines a personality disorder as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from cultural expectations, is inflexible and pervasive, has its onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is stable over time, and leads to distress or impairment. DSM-IV lists ten personality disorders, and allocates each one to one of three groups or &#8216;clusters&#8217;: A, B, or C.>

a little bit about the DSM-IV---very complicated.
http://www.psyweb.com/DSM_IV/jsp/dsm_iv.jsp

<The Multiaxial System of Diagnosis in DSM IV Criteria

The DSM uses a "multiaxial" system for assessment. This assessment model is designed to provide a comprehensive diagnosis that includes a complete picture of not just acute symptoms but of the entire scope of factors that comprise mental health.

There are five axes in the DSM diagnostic system, each relating to a different aspect of a mental disorder:
Axis I:This is the top-level diagnosis that usually represents the acute symptoms that need treatment; Axis 1 diagnoses are the most familiar and widely recognized (e.g., major depressive episode, schizophrenic episode, panic attack). Axis I terms are classified according to V-codes by the medical industry (primarily for billing and insurance purposes). Read more.

Axis II:Axis II is the assessment of personality disorders and intellectual disabilities. These disorders are usually life-long problems that first arise in childhood. Read more.

Axis III:Axis III is for medical or neurological conditions that may influence a psychiatric problem. For example, diabetes might cause extreme fatigue which may lead to a depressive episode. Read more.

Axis IV:Axis IV identifies recent psychosocial stressors - a death of a loved one, divorce, losing a job, etc. - that may affect the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of mental disorders. Read more.

Psychosocial and Environmental ProblemsAxis V:Axis V identifies the patient's level of function on a scale of 0-100, (100 is top-level functioning). Known as the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) Scale, it attempts to quantify a patient's ability to function in daily life. Read more.>

One person I knew had bipolar 1 from adolescence. She shared some of her experiences. Her family had a mixture of mental disorders. Very brilliant woman, funny, kind and she tried as hard as she could. The medications are so difficult to regulate. Her family was able to afford excellent care ==fwiw. Whatever it is?--would just start--cyclical and she was pretty much powerless. At one point had electric shock treatments.

The right combinations were finally found and she has to be very very careful to have some semblance of a normal life. Science and Art were her two strengths--wanted to become a doctor--could have. People 'were afraid of her', of course. Very pretty. Junior League type of individual.

I really cannot imagine how this man's disorder could have been treated. Of course 'he didn't care' and would have made any effort close to impossible.

How to feel? My thoughts go to the families of the victims. All I've got right now.
 
Thank you for proving my point. Carry on.

Interesting, I'd like to see where Pogo's promoting the far left "gun grabbing" agenda? So far the only point proven here is your unwillingness to actually (and honestly) discuss the points of current discussion. The only one who looks like a demagogic ass here is you.
I'll now wait for your claim that I'm a uninformed gun-grabbing liberal..........

Pogo does not reasonably discuss anything. He will ask you questions, then ignore your answers and repeat the question, and he will always ignore your questions unless he thinks he has a slam dunk.

The dude is a troll, so any flippant response is more time than he deserves, just my opinion.

Then your experience and mine have been diametrically polar. I think I know why.
 
So where's the focus on him killing this three asian roommates with a knife? No useful agenda could be accomplished there, right?

Excuse me? :eusa_eh:

Ummmm, that's nothing new, been going on for centuries. What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
 
It's just sad all around, the guy was bonkers and no one should be trying to find a political or racial agenda in this. The dude was nuts.

I am wondering who exactly is doing that.

Interesting though how we can look at the factors and ignore certain statistical realities. Which of course is rather ironic, isn't it Stats?

Lets look at the numbers and specific incidents of MASS shootings committed by someone on anti-depressants.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, lets guess why these beloved networks would not HARP or HYPE the connections between these connections.

*****BTW, those incidents do include Adam Lanza, James Holmes, Cho Seung-Hui and many others.********

Let us take a little hint: The pharmaceutical industry pays millions (hundreds of millions) in advertising on the beloved news networks. Those news networks btw are not in business to report news. They are in fact in business to make money.

Now, statistically, virtually every mass shooting or mass violent actions have been committed by someone on one of these drugs. You are a stat guy. What is the statistical probability that all of those are coincidences?

Do not deny there is a race dividing agenda with the media, or the focus on GUNS from the left. I can show statistical facts regarding those facts.

That is not the point in this particular post.

He was never legally committed to a psychiatric facility therefor there was nothing on his record to indicate he had psychiatric issues barring him from purchasing firearms and ammo.
The real question is if his family knew he had problems and did nothing to help him or purposely protected him from the "stigma" of having a mental health "record" then wouldn't they be the ones that should be held responsible?
 
Actually you turned the point on yourself, specifically....
I know you hate the fact that you can only argue from emotion, ignorance and/or dishonesty - but there's nothing -I- can do about that.
:dunno:

You're arguing with a pathetic pile of pus who will never get off my ignore list because he hasn't got an argument, just rants.

Actually, no -- I'm simply setting a stage that allwos him to help prove the premise tha anti-gun loons can only argue from emotion, ignorance and/or dishonesty.
As usual, he's doing an excellent job.
 
Actually you turned the point on yourself, specifically "dishonesty" when you edited part of my post out. You must have been afraid of what it said, and there's your "emotion". The ignorance we already covered when we noted you put the same lame robo-line in a thread where nothing but rational discussion was going on.

So no, thank YOU. You got all three, done hit the trifecta.

Now that that's out of the way -- got any actual input here?

No?


Didn't think so.


:dig:
I know you hate the fact that you can only argue from emotion, ignorance and/or dishonesty - but there's nothing -I- can do about that.
:dunno:

..... Link?

Still afraid to quote me huh? Must be hell, cowering in fear like that.
You and I both know it is impossible for you to cite any argumment you've made regarding gun control that does not derive from emotion, ignoreance and/or dishonesty.

You know it., You hate it. But, that's YOUR issue, and yours alone, regardless of how much you may try to avoid the issue.

I guarantee that, in responding, you'll only prove me correct.
:dunno:
 
Quite right. And we have Ronald Reagan to thank for that.

Did he cast a spell that forbids people from being locked up for any reason? Did he go around congress like dems do?

He closed down all the mental institutions....
Interesting that you need to lie to make your point.
Why is that?

(Too bad Hinckley couldn't afford anything better than a pawn shop .22)
Ahh... whish a man dead because you disagree with him politically.
Fine example of liberal tolerance.

You are not saying the left is not committed to pushing race division or that they yell about gun control and yell how things like this are the fault of right wingers or the NRA every time there is a tragedy like this are you?

No, you are not. From both sides? Me or anyone else pointing out the hypocrisy of the left is not being political. That, is actually pointing out one side making politics out of something in order to push an obvious agenda.

Me pointing that out with this post is an example.....

Aaaannnd liberals use a tragedy again as another poignant opportunity to push their political agenda by using various irrelevant fallacies.

Proving once again their comical logic as they gather on their bandwagon of pure bullshit.

They have no ability to think for themselves and every day they prove it.

And then having pogo give me a neg with this comment......

Bring something to the table or fuck off, troll

It is rather telling what his disposition is all about with a comment like that considering I was not addressing him specifically. He sure as shit was addressing me specifically. In what way is that me trolling?

Now, I can show where and how the media (main stream media) is pushing a left wing agenda and it almost seems as though they get excited with glee when there is an incident like this where there is a mass shooting by a white guy. We have Michael Moore jumping on it and stating how white people are most dangerous.....

So, why did pogo address me like that, if he indeed is not about the typical left wing cliches. Is there something specific that I am wrong about?

Remember, you already said you see it from both sides. What specifically are you referring to when you say from both sides? What is the right pushing, other than pointing out the hypocrisy from the left? Sticking up for the 2nd amendment?

Hey, remember when ABC quickly referred that James Holmes was a Tea Party member. I mean they were so excited about that, that they did not even take a moment to make sure that he was. No, they saw a name in Colorado (Jim Holmes) belonging to the Tea Party and they quickly reported the mass shooter was a Tea Party member.

Why were they so excited? I will bet there were delightful smiles when they ran to the presses to report the news they thought they had.

Anyway..........

Anyway..........

You're making overarching statements concerning liberals, just as far left liberals make overarching statements concerning conservatives.
I'm simply addressing the right/left emotive bull shit that is rampant in these discussions and has little to nothing to do with your examples. Attempting to associate political/racial affiliation, regardless of who's doing it is pathetically moronic at best and says more about who's doing it than anything else. Using these incidents, by either side, to score political points is ignorant and reprehensible.
Ya see I don't simply point out the hypocrisy of only one side or the other......... so no, I'm not doing what you want to think I'm doing (see your first question).
 
You're arguing with a pathetic pile of pus who will never get off my ignore list because he hasn't got an argument, just rants.

Actually, no -- I'm simply setting a stage that allwos him to help prove the premise tha anti-gun loons can only argue from emotion, ignorance and/or dishonesty.

However true that may be it does not change the fact that anti-gun loons can only argue from emotion, ignorance and/or dishonesty - indeed, it only concedes the point.
