Description

A former TV news anchor, Angelynn Mock, is accused of fatally stabbing her 81-year-old mother, Anita Avers, after a bloody Halloween morning that began with Mock asking neighbors to call 911. Investigators say Mock claimed she killed her mother in self-defense, describing delusional beliefs and erratic behavior that prosecutors later linked to severe mental illness. Now, a judge has ruled Mock incompetent to stand trial due to schizophrenia, halting the murder case indefinitely while she undergoes treatment in a mental health facility.

In case anyone else just wants to get right to the point: She was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Judge declared her incompetent to stand trial. She was sent to a mental health facility. Could be tried at a later time,

I have a close family member with schizoaffective disorder and she can be a completely normal person for months at a time and then all of a sudden for a few months she’s insanely paranoid, has delusions, she sees things or thinks she sees things, hears things, and she completely thinks that someone has bugged her house or a random person or even family remember or friend is planning to hurt or and kill her and she can get violent. And then months later when she’s out of it, she doesn’t remember much of it and she is the sweetest person. It is so incredibly upsetting knowing someone with this disorder and she didn’t start having any symptoms until she was in her late 20s. Her and another person I know have gone into full psychosis, and usually when they are in full psychosis, they don’t remember a single thing or barely anything that they said or did during that time, which is really scary and sad, especially if they were violent.

It’s really scary in the US right now there is no mental health care long term and short term care can just worsen the mental illness- it’s terrifying that rich or poor there are so few choices for the families of those with serious mental illness - it’s absolutely inhumane the little resources there are for severely mentally ill people and their families. We need long term care and better treatment facilities that actually treat them instead of just temporarily locking them up And escalating the situation.

She said she stabbed her mother to save herself... Schizophrenia creates a terrifying false reality where those who love you most become your worst enemies.

My brother had schizophrenia and he once told my Dad that he didnt want to have to kill him. He once wandered around with a butcher knife because he thought he was Jack Nicholson. He did die from epilepsy after decades of very strong medications
