drew pinsky is the host, as we talk about the lack of this country's ability to deal with mental health issues, this seems to hit right in the center of it. miriam carey's sister spoke with anderson cooper, said her sister was diagnosed with post partum psychosis. let's start with that first. post partum depression. >> though depression can become psychotic. it is a state where people are delusional. they believe they are somewhere else, that thoughts are being beamed into their head, they believe people are talking to them, perhaps on the media, television, radio, they have bad judgment, they're disconnected from reality of depression can become severe. kit lead the psychosis but post partum. if anybody has a previous disorder of bipolar, they may be at risk. about visit% have no history of their own. so it is something that come on very suddenly. in my experience, having worked in a psychiatric hospital for 20 years, they are some of the wildest, most difficult to treat psychotic patients. and i was reading about it. one of the thing that caught my attention, a sense of bewilderment a

drew pinsky is joining us from dr. drew on call. are you for legalization? >> i'm neutral. really care. the idea of there being good drugs and bad drugs is a flawed idea. how do you measure a good drug verse as you bad drug? >> do you put pot in the same category as some of these other drugs which the u.s. government actually does? >> oh, it's silly to say marijuana is bad but alcohol is good. silly to say marijuana is bad but tobacco is good. >> the classification by the dea is correct as the most dangerous drug it could possibly be? no medical use? >> no. the fact there's no med call use is also absurd. the fact we as physicians are able to use -- i use morphine all the time. it's a very dangerous drug if you're an opiate addict. but if you're suffering i'm probably going to give that to you. why shouldn't i be able to use any medication to ease human suffering. silly. >> why is the federal government attached to an absurdry? >> you're asking me. >> why not position standing up and saying this is crazy? [ overlapping speakers ] >> hang on. >> do we want to deal with this

drew pinsky now. you've seen the video.is, which is obviously very important. but one thing that's clear, there had to have been some pretty nasty, inappropriate behavior on both sides. >> on both sides, right. >> how does this happen? >> i wonder how many people around the world look at this footage, shake their head and says what's going on in this country, the government shuts down and people are attacking each oar on the roads. >> that could be you or me because you give them the finger, you yell and you don't think someone will come and bash your car. >> we don't know who is at fault here. vigilanteism is never okay, don't take the law in your own hands, call for help. in southern california where i live we've been dealing with this for a long time. to us that's an afternoon on the santa monica freeway. road rage is out of control in certain parts of this country. i think it's just a symptom of how unregulated we are, how angry we are, how frustrated we are, and ultimately for me, i know you're pregnant, erin, and for
