As far as the latter is concerned it is important to consider the amounts of people that abuse their medications, or refuse to take them properly (ie, skipping doses). And of course there are those that haven't been put on the proper medications and while they might not be wanting to kill themselves any more, are often still like walking/numb/zombies. But hey, at least the tendency toward violence isn't there until something better can hopefully be worked out.
But still, point holds.....we don't understand how to administer medications without understanding the illness.

It is helping in this case it is like night and fucking day with this person. He has FINALLY gone to get proper attention and is taking his meds accordingly. They keep adding new meds and discovering more disorders. getting rid of that violence is essential foggy or not.
