'I Am Adam Lanza's Mother'

What a heart-wrenching story!!

This part leapt out at me:

He’s been on a slew of antipsychotic and mood altering pharmaceuticals, a Russian novel of behavioral plans.

I wonder which came first: the violent behavior or the drugs? The mother didn't say what his first symptoms were. I wonder if he was on ritalin or something like that when he was very young?

There has always been mental illness. But mental illness combined with the poisonous cocktail of drugs children get starting as babies, + allergy meds, ritalin, andtidepressants, etc. create a toxic mess that disrupts mental function and sometimes turns a mentally ill but nonviolent person into a killer. One can only wonder how many ticking time bombs there are out there. So sad.

Let's all have a moment of prayer for this mother and others like her.
