Connecticut Shooting— Wake Up Call for Federal Investigation of America’s Failed Mental Health System

According to news reports, the Sandy Hook shooter, Adam Lanza, was a product of the mental health system and had been taking ‘medication’ since the age of ten and reportedly seeing a psychiatrist from at least the age of 15. Lanza’s mother reportedly told friends that Lanza “was getting worse” and “she was having trouble reaching him.” The questions that need to be answered is when did Adam Lanza first receive mental health treatment, what diagnoses did he receive and how what drugs had he been prescribed over his short life.
