The word schizophrenia is sometimes used like kind of like a big boogie man label they will paste on people when they can't figure out how to get them to be the way society wants. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia thirty-five years ago but have since learned it is much more complex than that and what ever those that want to use that word think it is.
You might also want to consider that people who go off the deep end are probably dealing with the problems they have through the instincts and hereditary make up they already have and were born with. You would never be able to stop that so you might figure out some better way of dealing with it. It all comes back to idea that everyone is separate from each other. We are not, when we turn our backs on others it might hurt us then, it might hurt later and or indirectly, or even the old Karma thing might kick in somehow (seen that, done that, it's not always pretty or good either ).
We don't get better by shutting people out, caging them and ignoring them, we just get worse. As far as guns and weapons go, i believe people who need them probably have something loose inside themselves and haven't found a way to deal with it.
And no I haven't taken my meds today and have missed them ever since they they let me out.
