According to a story released by ABCNEWS, www.abcnews.com/health/mindmoodnews/, Amy Bishop, a 45 year old professor from the University of Alabama, who opened fired on collegues in a staff meeting at the university killing three is pleading insanity according to her court appointed attorney. Her attorney is saying the his client is likely shizophrenic. Allegedly Mrs. Bishop, a Harvard educated professor, was upset that she was not granted tenure and was going to be released at the end of this term.
Give me a break. Why is it when people who commit these horrible crimes always try to plead insanity? I think that Mrs. Bishop's attorney needs to do some research before he tries to make his case for his client.
According to www.ablify.com shizophrenia is a imbalance of two chemicals inside of the brain called serotonin and dopamine. It is also very hard to diagnose because there are no set test that can accurately diagnose shizophrenia. Then there are the characteristics that are associated with shizophrenia. You have the "positive" characteristics that include hallucinations, dellusions, and disorganized thinking. With "positive" characteristics you also have "negative" characteristics which include lack of emotion, energy, and motivation.
After reading these symptoms, I have made the following determinations. Of course I'm not a doctor, so these are just opinons.
I'm pretty sure that with her being a professor, let alone a Harvard alumni, I am pretty certain that Mrs. Bishop had motivation, and organized thinking. Plus it has not been released if she had ever had any hallucinations or dellusions. Bottom line I feel that she was just upset that she was going to be let go at the end of the term. I think she knew exactly what she was doing when she walked into that staff meeting and opened fired. She should now face her charges like anyone else.
