Are you aware why most mentally ill patients go off their meds? Why? Most of the time, because of the medication, they feel fine and decided that they must be able to stop taking the medication.

You try telling a paranoid-schizophrenic* off his meds to:

a. get help
b. stay calm
c. don't be angry
d. put down the gun (?)**
