Every month to me is Mental Health month, every time another mass killing of innocent people, as in Santa Barbara recently, mental illness is the first thing that comes to my mind. Not guns, not violent electronic games but the sick mental state of the executor of these crimes. The grief I feel for the families that lose their young and vibrant sons and daughters is equaled by the same grief I feel for the families of the mentally ill perpetrator, most of whom knew something was wrong for many years but did not have support from assisted outpatient treatment centers.
