She was socially awkward, probably her religious background prevented her from having casual flings.
She bought a house with a possible dream of having a family.
I think she developed some feelings for Dr A (he features in her notes, emotional breakdown in Court).
IMO she is seriously mentally unstable with violent mood swings.
And unable to cope with them.
Im amazed she wasn't diagnosed and appropriately treated - both pharmacologically and by therapies.
She should have never ever been allowed to work with vulnerable patients.

Problem is, are such people properly diagnosable?
In garden-variety conditions, where people might end up being violent, usually there are outbursts of violence. This, of course, is very treatable. The situation when there is serial hospital murder who is otherwise doing fine, even growing in the system, buying a house, having a relationship, not visibly failing in any area, is pretty rare.
With all variety of new medications, the area that is totally uncovered and unmedicated is alexithymia, the inability to identify and describe emotions. I am wondering if LL had it. Her “boredom” makes me wonder. This, on the one hand, and probably strong obsessive component on the other. There is something promising for OCD, Tourette’s and the likes now in phase 2-3 of clinical trials, at least.
