Why Diagnosing Adam Lanza Is a Problem | PBS NewsHour

Why Diagnosing Adam Lanza Is a Problem | PBS NewsHour





It's a problem because:-

1) He's dead. Apparently.

2) No one has taken his full medical history

3) He has not been examined by a qualified a consultant Psychiatrist, who has met him AND has access to his full medical history

4) He may not actually exist, in which case, he cannot be ill..

And in the absence of those things, diagnosing him with ANYTHING is a major breach of basic medical ethics. But if I had to take a guess as to what's currently afflicting him, my most informed guess would probably be "death".
