That's right. You're allowed. So for some reason, society has decided you're allowed to be psychotic. And it's okay to be psychotic, but it's not okay to be suicidal. And I would like to change that because it is not okay to be psychotic. More people commit suicide and homicide during psychosis than any other time.

So we are hoping that will help to not just provide the intake departments in these hospitals and these centers more collateral information to be able to admit, but also to provide more safety to the family members so what happened to John doesn't happen to anybody else.
