looks like even a senators brother couldn’t get the help he needed. He died at 51 thats a shame, I wonder what did him in, the side effects of the medication or smoking, poor diet and lack of exercise. I hope I don’t suffer the same fate

It is sad that his brother died, but at least I know one senator who would be against registering schizophrenics.

I highly doubt they will register schizophrenics.
Unless you get involved with the legal system or try to buy a gun.

I’m happy for the call for more attention to mental health treatment, etc., but his brother never did hurt anyone else! I’m sick of schizophrenic people, who are often afraid and self-harming, being seen as dangerous. I think, as I listened to this interview, what struck me the most was this man’s lack of knowledge regarding what his brother was going through. I thought that was really sad. Ignorance.
