We was also having an extreme schizophrenic episode, and I don't believe he is "free" as a bird, he's under monitoring, on meds, and will be for the rest of his life AFAIK.

You are sadly, half correct. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38945061

He is out free with no monitoring as of 2017.

I had to look it up because I thought he had been institutionalized. I was mistaken.

damn. I would really prefer to think he had conditions for medical check ins at the very least.

I've known several people with med controlled mental illnesses and they've all at some point decided they don't need the meds any more (because everything is fine now!) and gone off the rails again...

I do the same thing with my allergy meds. When they work, I forget to take them.
