JS did not display signs of psychosis while purchasing firearm. Dr. M said that most patients w/ MI do not reveal their symptoms in general life. To JS, her mental illness was a shame and embarrassment.
Multiple references in medical records of JS's chronic suicidal feelings. First began to experience (clearly) depression during military career -- during this time, she would get a leave of absence, go to a distant city, check into a hotel until she felt better.
Dr. M said that JS was thinking and planning to kill herself when she got the firearm; it also crossed her mind that if she killed herself, she would also have to kill the children. It was more clear in her mind that she would have to kill herself; it was less clear that she would kill the children.
