Guilty, please.
Honestly I’m very, very skeptical of his diagnosis. He was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder in a two hour assessment with a mental health nurse Judge says he wants to review Ahmaud Arbery's mental health records
First, I’m surprised a nurse can diagnose something like this in two hours. When I was in the process of getting a diagnosis for ADHD the nurse just triaged me with questionnaires, and the actual diagnosis took multiple sessions with a psychiatrist.
Schizoaffective disorder is such a complex diagnosis that I don’t understand how could it be determined in a single session.
And considering that medical racism is alive and well, and African Americans get overdiagnosed with schizophrenia to this day, I would consider that diagnosis iffy at best.
