> It angers me that psychiatric patients get such inadequate care.

The problem is these shooters go unnoticed and aren't recognized to be disturbed before its too late. James Holmes was recognized too late.

Also, a large part of these shooter's persona can be descibed as anti-social which adds a complex dimension to the therapist's couch; to the psychiatrists couch. Anti-social personalities don't respond well to care. Or medications.n
James Holmes had an anti-social personality. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were sociopaths. Dylann Roof was just a psychopath.

Unless we learn to treat anti-social behaavior there will be no stop to these senseles shootings.

> Mass shooting seem to have two things in common:
> 1) The shooter has a poorly managed psychiatric history.

The shooter is likely to be non-compliant with therapy. I mean, what's funner than therapy? planning the death of dozens. These guys have deep seated problems-they can only be rewired. Perhaps in the future.

> 2) They choose gun-free zones for their targets.

Well, they're usually pretty smart.

> What can be done to get all patients greatly improved care?

For those at risk, mandatory testing should be done and if a person is found to rank high on sociopathic tendencies that individual should be institutionalized. Just my dystopian future.

> what can we do to get patients much better care?

Provide free access to mental health care.

> Most of the meds are not very good.

I've had many drugs that worked well.

>What can we do?

Put our head between our knees and pray.
