Did she say anything about the rates of suicide with schizophrenics?
Anything about possible vigilante justice seekers?

I didn't ask either unfortunately.
But she definitely was on the sympathetic side due to the trouble he'll face going forward. Stressed how he's literally a different person when medicated and may want so badly to be normal but will never get the chance now. Not because he can't be normal when medicated, but because he'll never be anonymous again and others will likely treat him poorly.
Actually speaking of vigilante justice, she said the persons responsible for his discharge and his future care are probably not having a good time right now either. They are under so much pressure. Probably not being treated very well in their own communities due to the stigma of being the ones responsible for releasing him.
One thing she did say is that often times schizophrenia affects the memory so it's possible that he doesn't even fully remember what he did.
She also doesn't live in the same province as Li and the rules for things like involuntary care vary for province to province so some of what I posted is speculation. But she is in Canada. And currently employed with a provincial health service or whatever. Like AHS. But not AHS.
