The family does not know if Abdulazeez ever received a specific mental health diagnosis, the person said. He clearly suffered episodes of depression and sometimes went for days without sleep while he was out partying with friends. But that behavior could have been connected to Abdulazeez’s drug abuse, the person said.
He could also have been an undiagnosed bi-polar who was self-medicating with alcohol, weed and/or other drugs. It is the exceptionally American way to restrict access to necessary health-care “for costs”, yet grant almost unrestricted access to firearms “for freedom”.
