^ Personally, I favor treatment/rehabilitation in this case. There are, however, plenty of people who go with the polak/gimp school of thought. Check out the case of Big Lurch from the early 2000s. I was living in the US at the time and remember most people around me calling for a life sentence. Perhaps the difference is that he willingly did all kinds of crazy drugs as opposed to having a condition that he has no choice about.

As an aside, have a question for streetpharmacist (dunno if he's even in this thread?): compliance with the med schedule seems to be a problem (have a relative-in-law with a significant dsm diagnosis who, too, struggles with taking everything on time). Do they not have a depot or a long sustained-release formulation for atypical antipsychotics? It would just make so much sense...
