What Will It Take To Fix Our Broken Mental Health Care System After Santa Barbara Killings?
There were 6 Brutal killings in Santa Barbara last Friday in Isla Vista as a result of untreated mental illness. Elliot Rodger, 22, was sick and unstable. As a result, he killed six people and wounded 13 others. I feel certain that his parents did everything to help him get help, think rationally, and behave as a “normal” mentally healthy 22-year-old man, should or would. I feel certain they were in an on-going battle with him to “get healthy”…In fact in a recent article online, it stated that he had been seen by a variety of mental health professionals and it was apparent that he was very, very disturbed.
