Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

The only person qualified to comment on perpetrator's mental health is a doctor who specializes in mental illness. The only place a doctor should make a statement on the perpetrator's mental health is in a court of law, and after promising to tell the truth.

Amen to this! I completely agree, Neva. I can't stand it when some random non-doctor is talking about how the person must have been mentally ill and it had just gone undiagnosed. And they always say "mentally ill" like no specific diagnosis or anything. It's just a vague, general "mental heath issue" every time.

Best,
