A rather different approach to mental illness

Posted by David Hardy · 14 May 2007 03:32 PM

Just by way of a caveat, in the wake of the Va Tech shootings -- here's a story in the Toronto Star about former Saturday Night Live star Tony Rosato. It sounds as if he went paranoid schitz in Toronto, kept calling police, and they responded by charging him with criminal harrassment of his wife.

The article doesn't quite say, but it sounds as if he was found incompetent to stand trial, and the jail has no particular duty to get him psychiatrist treatment. As a result he's been sitting in a cell in a high security prison for two years, awaiting trial on a charge that would result in maybe one day of incarceration.

I feel very bad,Rosato have to under go psychological assessment if he found in his stable mental strength then he have to release immediately from the prison..About Va tech incident,In every colleges especially countries like USA where people can get guns easily,have to have separate psychological department for students where every students at least have to spend 30 to 40 hours in a year..It'll definitely help people who are in trouble...
