My own son had been on medication a number of years ago under the care of a Psychiatrist. He took us through several "lets-try-this" prescriptions until he felt he was achieving the desired effect. Nonsense! I believe this is much too common and may be contributing to these horrific events.
Malpractice?

No, a good doctor will try and see because the type and dosage affects everyone differently. That is why prescription drugs are more dangerous that pot. You can mix match drugs without knowing what and how the effects of the drug works.
