Blah blah blah black box warning blah blah blah. I am nothing if not predictable.

I recently read a three-part essay called "I was Adam Lanza" in which the author described his sad, isolated adolescence, and he credits his mother with finding him a psychologist who successfully used talk therapy to turn his thinking around. He didn't specifically mention medication, but he emphasized that a psychiatrist (who prescribes) was purposefully not chosen.

It seems obvious that a lot of potential troublemakers are in desperate need of positive connections in their lives, and this is as true in the suburbs as it is in the urban core.
