Re: Gunman dead after Navy Yard rampage 4 killed, several wounded at facility in D.C.

The killer was having hallucinations and he was on meds. I skimmed the Current Psychiatry journal and there are no meds that will help cognitive dysfunction for schizophrenia and psychiatrists don't know how to treat hallucinations long term.

BOTTOM LINE
"Although cognitive dysfunction is a leading cause of disability in schizophrenia, no treatments are approved for this condition. Numerous novel-mechanism and nonpharmaceutical modalities are actively being studied for this difficult-to-treat problem, however—offering hope to patients."

In addition to cognitive dysfunction, Psychiatrists are not sure how to treat hallucinations. The editor of "Current Psychiatry" explains how giving drugs to a psychotic patient can help only if the drugs are never discontinued. If the patient stops the drugs, brain tissue is destroyed and their psychosis worsens and they may never get the psychosis under control. Did the killer stop taking his meds?

Also, when someone overdoses on anti-psychotic meds and anti-depressants, they have delirium and psychosis.

So why are these drugs not being questioned? I am thinking Psychiatrists don't know all the effects of these drugs(particularly long term) so they must not reveal just how little they know.
