he was supposed to go to college like many other people's kids an then he had his first psychotic break. we could not get any help for him. when a person is left to decompensate to the point where they can not eat because they fear their food is poison or when they can't go outside because they think people are following them everywhere. when they can't sleep because they are hearing voices and the delusions in their mind, we owe it to them and to intervene to help. there is nothing civil about letting somebody without their right mind decompensate to the to point that they lose their lives and sometimes other people lose their lives. our mother recently had called me and said that her son had been on the streets because he also left their house and the police called her first thing in the morning. she hadn't seen him in a long time and he had paranoid schizophrenia. they said your son is in the hospital. we arrested him on a 51/50. he was walking naked in the street in the middle of the night talking to himself. the mother and father jumped in the car and went to the emergency room and

he wanted to try to reach late teens, early youth, early adults, who are at risk for a psychotic break. and so what he did, his catchment area was portland, maine. and he trained counselors and high school teachers- i think it might have been parents, not quite sure-but the idea is-i'm sure it was, actually-that if these folks began to know what are some of the signs, where most people would say, "oh, they're going to grow out of it," he would say, "please, send me your person if they're showing these signs." and it turned out to be a wonderful way of actually lowering the rates of psychotic behavior on the part of the population as a whole in that area. and when we come back, i do want to get to, not only continue to learn more of what you're doing, gail, but also deal with the issues of the peer counselors that i want to go back to. we'll be right back.

the only justification for it is that in the kids wanted the into a psychotic medication, but what people don't understand and what is really important to know is that most of the prescriptions for to psychiatric drugs in this country are written without a psychiatric diagnosis. three-quarters of the prescriptions for antidepressants are written without a diagnosis. more than half of the a the hd drugs britain without a diagnosis. there's nothing to stop the doctor and lots of reasons they do that. so many are written by family doctors. they don't have the wherewithal. they don't need to. another reason is because a lot of doctors don't want that psychiatric diagnosis to go into the patient's chart. and unless they are challenged, why are you prescribing separate say here, they're not going to provide a diagnosis. so there is not really -- there is a disconnect when you talk brought in a position. there are two kinds going on. one is this one about identity, and that is what the dsm does. another one is this one about dragging the population, and that is only sort of and directly related

having her presented very well and having her discharged and police getting involved simply for being psychotic in a public area and going to court hearings. a very messy issue. the reason why i'm interested in this particular issue is not because i'm interested in controversy or particularly polarizing issues, but because i believe in it. i believe that laura's law outpatient treatment is a tool among many tools that we have in the mental health system to try to engage people in a recovery based way. the foundation of laura's law is a multidisciplinary team trying to engage people, trying to give them as much say in the treatment plan as they are willing to provide and when you read the description in nevada county that has it fully implemented. when you meet the people who work they are, they believe in the same things that mr. vega was mentioning, love kindness, i think that's why we all do this work but there are individuals like my mother, maybe like his son who need a little bit of extra help. i think that sometimes oftentimes clients see judges differently than they see their doctors. th

mental disorders as defined by the so-called d.s.m., they're much more anxious and depressed and psychotic than the rest of us are, and not just because we placed them in jail. we don't think there's a causal relationship there, but we do relationship to dysfunctional behaviors that are centered around exit. and those of you in the audience that have dealt with offenders i think or that population will probably be nodding your heads. i think that's kind of a common observation, one that's frequently made. it's kind of a depressing finding for a couple of reasons. first of all, if we think that we can prevent homicides through stopping acts of the firearm, we're not actually going to give people valid questionnaires when they want to boy a gun to see whether they might be the impulsive type. but now fundamentally, i'm a little surprised, because we think of these things as traits. it's a little bit consistent with the stereotype of the criminal that political scientist james said. these are just bad people are bad traits, and maybe we just have to lock them up till they age out of their vio

they used to support the diagnosis that he was psychotic. he heard voices, hallucinations, delusions. the images at the time or something called -- we know that it is not diagnostic now. it is a risk faster -- factor. you are more likely to develop these types of illnesses. but he was found insane based on this information and sentenced to an insane asylum. he has now been released, starting in 2009, to a thousand -- 2010. he is well treated and managed. they told me i had to go away faster. if you happen to have schizophrenia or you hear voices or hallucinations, it is with 99% certainty that i can show that your brain is different. if you have schizophrenia -- just pretend. what do you see that is different? these areas are much different, much more engaged. you might see there is a lot more blue as well in this map. look at this area. it is very different than that area, much more engaged. if you have a bipolar illness, you are different than if you have schizophrenia. they could have this illness or in this illness, those are the two mos
