Mental Man kill Four People

I wonder why he snapped. The news report did not say. I wonder if he had lash out on her before this episode. It is frightening to think he did such a heartless act. How will he behave when he goes to the hospital. They have to put him in a straight jacket for real.

@TheHorse Yes I hope they donot let him out.He certainly will snap again if aggravated.

@askme123 I hope he is there for life.

But how can you tell that you are dating a mentally ill person? What are the warning signs? Many people suffer from depression.Especially in these times of the pandemic and financial stress. At what point does this depression lead to a stage of mental illness? I have felt depress a few times in my life especially when my relationship broke up but I know I am not mentally ill and I would not dare kill another human being to spend the rest of my life in prison. Can you imagine living with a person for many years and never know that they could end your life in seconds.It is food for thought.

@Fa_Maverick So you also had mental issues too ?

@askme123 when I get bad I get really tired all the time I will sleep the whole night and 90% of the day.

Yes she knew about his mental illness. The news report said she knew him for many years but they recently became romantically involved. I guess she did not know he was capable of killing or committing such a heartless act.

More than 20% of the population have anxiety disorders. And more than 10% have depressive disorders. Neither tend to have violent breakdowns.

@TheHorse This is not the first case of a mentally ill person getting violent to the point of killing. If you search the internet there are quite a few cases.These mentally ill persons who commit these murders are usually not let out back in the society they are committed to a medical facility for life.So that is why you think they don't exist.

@askme123 I have a distant cousin who is clinically insane. My biological parents took the responsibility of taking good care because it was requested by his mom. After a few years, they gave up and let him go back to his mom. For this reason, we are scared that he might harm the little ones in the family.

Yes it is very sad. It makes you wonder how many other mentally ill persons are there who are also murderers We all have to be careful how we interact with people because there are no labels to say who is what or who kills.

@askme123 No, there are many labels. The DSM (sort of the Bible of mental illnesses) is a thick book. But no diagnosis is perfect.

I agree.This could have been avoided if they had taken him to the hospital right away..

@ShyBear88 Well good to know your husband has his under control.I am not verse with the different stages of mental illness.I think the man in the news had a severe case of mental illness.He was more on the crazy sick side. I think what your husband has is not severe.I don't know much about bipolarism but I would not call it a severe sickness.

@askme123 there not stages when it comes to mental illnesses. There are different types of condition there is ok state of crazy not such medical term. People with bipolar have two types he is the second type which means he has the potential to do harm he has more as they would manic episode that is when your very angry explode and some people with mania can get to the point of hurting not only themselves but others. Once there high from the manic episode adrenaline wearing off they tend to crash into a depressive state. People with type 1 have more loves meaning depression. My husband worked for 2 years in the mental health with adults he meet lots of different types from being psycho which they person got put into lot term care because psychos have no feelings, no care in the world they just want it cause harm and do harm to others. Psychopathic he meet which are people that hear or see things they are not actually there at all not to be confused with someone who has a split personality that’s multiple people in one person usually cause by trama. PTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD they are all mental health illiness many you probably wouldn’t know is sitting next to you. How bad someone has doesn’t affect where they are in the world it comes down to harm level have they or will they is why a doctor and count decided if your unsafe or not. Also I’d you have thoughts for killing or hurting self you got on a 24 hour watch at the hospital. You shouldn’t judge when you know little and making snap judgment on an article or report that you saw. Saying someone is sick crazy is wrong way say things because you still do know anything about this person. What the news reports is to be a shock affect what will make them more money for you to read

Is your current partner on medication to control it.? Please take care.

@Fa_Maverick Ok.I learnt something I thought the meds would help to subdue , keep them calm and also prevent them from having an episode. I didnot know that the meds can make them worse. It is a very delicate situation.

@askme123 no he is stable without and meds can make people worse.

@askme123 you don’t need to mentally ill to kill anyone. You can be in the right state of mine and do which makes far worse then when your sick and just need help .

@ShyBear88 You are correct many people who kill and commit murders are not necessarily mentally ill, they are just evil and wicked.

I am not an expert at diagnosing persons either. The news report refer to him has a mentally ill man so it means that he was already diagnosed as being mentally ill and in that state of mind before he committed the murders.

I believe you are right.It does not seem like he was being treated at all.That is why he had such a severe episode and did those murders.

@askme123 - I am sure he suffered of anxiety,may be also claustrophobia. The fact he also had mental problems caused so much stress that he had an extreme reaction.

@LadyDuck Yes it would seem so.Can you imagine he may never spend a day in prison because the lawyers will argue that he was already diagnosed as a mentally ill person and so he was not conscious of what he is doing.

You are right.It was probably the caging him cause him to get worse and have a breakdown.. The news report said that it was customary for the grandmother to lock up the place when she went to bed. He was in a new environment was probable not use to be kept in a locked house.The news report said that the person on the phone heard him shouting "Let me out I want to go home!.".He was definitely uncomfortable staying in the locked house. That could have been the trigger.

Does that mean Attention Deficit Disorder?Does this mean he cannot focus on anything too long.

@JESSY3236 Ok.Well take care of him.I hope it doesnot make him forgetful of important things and dates.Like your birthday etc.

@askme123 yes. he can't focus on things too long. He says he doesn't have it.

Yes you are right.If we see the warning signs we need to guard ourselves and listen to advice. The news report said the girlfriend knew him for many years but they recently became romantically involve. If she knew he was of unsound mind why did she date him? I guess love is blind.

@Hildasalom You are right The frightening thing is that we could be dating someone for many years and never really know their past or that they suffer from severe mental illness. Then we go marry them and then they lash out and have an episode.

It is very scary to live with a person like this.His case is very severe. It would be like you are walking on eggshells every day and you have to always be careful what you do or say.Because you don't want to trigger an episode.

@askme123 I would rather stay single than to commit myself in such a relationship.
