A big part of the problem is those that have those other mental health conditions, like anxiety, depression, PTSD, these kind of things can actually advocate for themselves. Most of the funding has gone to them. Most of the funding has gone to caring for those with some sort of mental health condition. There's no money or very little money that's going to this organization

one to three percent of the population. Those with the most seriously mentally ill, those that were taken care of at the state hospital by people like me. Those people are incarcerated. Nobody sees them. Nobody wants to see them. And that's where Arizona Mad Moms came in was because out of all the various groups, even raising my kids with autism.

And trust me, we were kicked out of some really nice restaurants because of my daughter. We've done our share of what you would call discrimination. But again, nothing compared to what my son went through with his schizophrenia. Nothing compares to what happened.

Good question. I didn't get any help or support. I also don't think I reached out, and I should have. Again, having my background, I think I thought that doctors and these hospitals that I tried taking my son to and all these places would see what I saw. I didn't know that you had to literally... write down a whole agenda. I didn't know that you had to be suicidal in order to get help.

I didn't know that psychosis wasn't enough. I didn't know that they would transfer him and not call me when he got out. I didn't understand how serious HIPAA laws were against parents. And I did not experience the support. And I think most of the Arizona Mad Moms have never felt supported. So my son, during his psychotic break, which lasted until his death, murdered his father.

And again, the first time he attempted to assault his dad, again, if this was my daughter Tia, she would have gone to a hospital or she would not have been removed. But with Joshua, even though his dad was going to file a petition, again, to have him placed inpatient this time, he wasn't on drugs. And even the last time, he was still psychotic.

That's why I knew it wasn't drugs the first time he went to the screening center. This time, during that petition process, my ex-husband called the police to just take him to keep him safe because he was trying to kill himself and others, and they took him to jail instead. And that's what started the whole incarceration process that led to, again, the murder and then the death.
