[ExI] question not being asked in Alec Baldwin shooting

[William Flynn Wallace]

Spike, no, schizophrenia is not illegal, but records are kept as to who has
been admitted to mental institutions.  Schizophrenia of any kind is
permanent.  Psychiatrists and psychologists have a legal duty to report
dangerous people to the police, and no, this does not violate client
privacy.

As for OCD, I don't know of any condition for which there is safe,
effective treatment.  But then I am not exactly up on the clinical area.
Some people do get better - some get worse - some don't change.  That's the
typical result of studying the effects of psych treatment after three
months.  Followup studies a year later are even more depressing.  bill w
