Now I’m reading people chiding NBC for showing this Cho video. I say show it over and over. Maybe it will alert people to the fact that people with his illness do exist as they always have, and that ignoring them is no way to deal with them. Paranoid people run from care.

In former times, Psychiatrists were called "Alienists" pointing to the "alien" appearance people with this illness. I say, show Cho’s video as long as anyone wants to watch it.

Maybe we’ll stop pretending they don’t exist and will relook at how to manage the cases that don’t either find their way in to, or respond to, our existing systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
