Didn't the Columbine shooters carry briefcases?

Psychosis doesn't occur from a personality disorder. There are many medical and psychological disorders that can cause psychosis. With schizophrenics, bipolars and those with Major Depression, there are signs that point to upcoming psychosis, BUT it sometimes takes family members years to learn and recognize the red flags. There are also red flags for those headed towards psychosis from a medical condition.

He may not have been psychotic. Nobody knows yet what was occurring in his home for days/weeks before this occurred.

Psychosis relates to Axis I more than Axis II correct?

I have a few questions.

When was that picture taken?
Did he own a driver's license?

Have I missed that?

Since he reportedly drove to the school, then I presume he had a license.

That article didn't even provide any examples of him being "deeply disturbed."
Other than him being quiet and using a brief-case.

And even if AL didn't have a license of his own, he may very well have had his brother's (maybe the ID was a DL).

This presentation explains Axis I and II for psychosis. Depending upon the origin/etiology, psychosis can be either.

At the very least, he knew how to drive.

no offense...
I kinda meant a valid one...
as in was it taken away at some point.

They said they found the brother's on him.
they never mentioned his.

Perhaps he took the brother's so he wouldn't
be detained before he finished what he started?

He also took his mom's car
I wonder did he ever have a car?

My 11 yr old "could" drive... but only if he was abducted
and had a chance to get away....

Precisely why I posted a disclaimer jJenny. Much of the information comes out so fast and furious it invariably creates inaccuracies. All we can do is track the info and tease out the facts as they are substantiated .

He may know how to drive a car, but that doesn't mean he had a license. I work with PD and so many people are stopped for some infraction that turn out to not have a license or a suspended one.

Not to sound snarky, but he was on his way to kill innocent people. I don't think he cared whether he was legal to drive or not. So, we can't assume he had a license.

O/T (sorry).

But...

Pensfan, your profile pic...psychotic stare?

I am at a loss at what to do. How to help. Just being among others grieving has helped and maybe we all need that: reach out to each other. Light a candle...say a prayer...hug your loved ones.

Definitely. And maybe reach out to Newtown in your own way and let them know you care.

I was watching/enjoying my 18 mo. old granddaughter today. I saw the news when she was napping. I am so scared for the world she is growing up in.

My schedule for the day included baking Christmas cookies after she left. I still made them, but the joy I normally have while baking them was not there tonight. I kept thinking how much those babies would have enjoyed them, and how they were looking forward to Christmas. My heart is broken.
