Let's not forget,Sheila was on both medication AND pot.

Sheila used pot before she went to White House Farm, she didn't use it daily in place of medicine. There was none active in her system.

He was using steroids, and amphetamines not just pot.     

"Dantes has since admitted that he has smoked cannabis for the last 12 years for medical reasons and had smoked cannabis and taken amphetamines on the afternoon before the incident."

In the meantime they think he has persistent delusional disorder which is difficult to treat with medication.  Medication usually won't do anything to stop delusions. In 2011 he became aggressive so police had to be called and he was sectioned.  In contrast Sheila was well managed on her medication.

Sheila used cannabis as well as her medication,this was the problem as the cannabis counteracted the effects of what her medication should have been doing.
Peoples brains are wired differently,and remember that a male can tolerate drugs/alcohol differently from a female because of the differences in metabolism.

To be perfectly honest,I would have said that Sheila had been wrongly diagnosed to begin with,and medication for what the consultant had diagnosed her for was having adverse effects.
Yes----------right medication,wrong diagnosis. Simple as that. Sheila was NO religious freak,as this only occurred when she visited her mother. It was June who'd suffered religious psychosis,not Sheila.

Another sad case

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3099469/Paranoid-factory-worker-stabbed-parents-death-frenzied-attack-psychotic-episode-smoking-cannabis-years.html





Quite a harrowing background for a young family.

Part of the heading given to the above family,had the word " dysfunctional ". Such a sad background for both the killer and the little sister that he'd killed.
The mother,a recovering alcoholic ( I personally wouldn't put too much emphasis on recovering ) had been described as a Jekyll and Hyde character and who'd had 4 children to 4 different fathers,made life Hell with her drunkenness. Apparently,it's said that the killer son had only enjoyed a brief couple of years of his short life,and that he'd had a wretched upbringing.
Two of the 4 children had been taken into care.
Those who knew Jed stated that he wasn't a bad lad-------------he was made bad by circumstances.
It's also been said that the little sister who he loved,and she him,he'd killed out of love for her to protect her from the life that he'd had. One of his mother's male friend's said that if things had been different,Jed had the makings of a nice happy lad.

How sad is this ? If it's not religion,it's alcohol which ruins a person's life. :(

yes it is a very sad story .

Also the other one near me where the guy was very lucky not to kill anyone when he set fire to a cottage ( with an elderly lady inside) the council offices and a funeral parlour. He has been detained under the mental health act - part of the reason was bi-polar. He tried to commit suicide but failed.

You do have to have a certain amount of sympathy for these people.Their minds are so uncontrollably tormented. It is sad indeed.
