Murder and mental health

Heard this story? It's really, really horrible. I don't know what to say, really, except that I'm sorry for the murdered woman and her family and I hope something is done to make sure this doesn't happen again. What could be done I don't know. The man who did this was a schizophrenic and had been living on the streets- I don't know what the mental health care system is like in Tenerife, but I'm sure this could have been prevented. I don't want to feel too much sympathy for the murderer, because...well, there's a point where free will comes into it, no matter what's in your head. I think.


The comments on this story will probably just annoy or depress you. People have outright said that mental health service users are like dogs- yeah. That'll help. THANKS.

A small personal one

I haven't taken my antidepressants in a few days thanks to my own stupidity. (ie I suddenly don't actually have any). I have not felt brilliant. I'm crying at everything. I cried over old photos, over chicklit books, I came bizarrely close to crying on learning that Bin Laden, being such a very brave guy, apparently used his wife as a human shield. (Poor woman.) So it's been an...interesting few days. If by interesting you mean rubbish.
