You have proved nothing. He was released because he was still living at home and his parents were around to make sure he took his medications. He killed himself because he realised he couldn't have back the life he had before he developed schizophrenia. He wasn't willing to accept that he would have to take medication for the rest of his life and the not so nice side effects that went along with it. I regret not acting on his comments and feel I could have prevented his suicide.
There are countless schizophrenics in this world working 9-5 jobs and supporting themselves. Medication to treat this illness has gotten alot better since my friend killed himself.
