Topic: Increasing Suicide Rate

Just In one week, two great celebrities took their own lives without any explainable reasons that we may know about, first the designer Kate Spade and then the chef and television host on CNN Anthony Bourdain, these are people in our society who we may not think can commit such an act. What is going on? This is an escalating crisis that needs an attention. According to the New York Times; the study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that some parts of the country have been hit especially hard, state like Montana has the highest rate in the nation, especially among veterans by 20 percent. They want us to believe that one of the main reason for suicide is because of non-gun control, but this is not about gun control, it is about people getting help when they need it. Our governments; federal, states, counties, and community leaders need to do more by getting involve in preventing this issue or else it will become an epidemic. According to Feud, People are fully aware of the forces affecting the behavior; (Weiten p. 7) the unconscious. It is because of the unconscious behavior of mankind, that’s why we have these problems and some people know that they need help mentally, but they can’t get it because of no resources.

This week you learned about mental health and law. You also learned about the case of Andrea Yates. Your discussion is two fold.


Part A:

Having read about Andrea Yates, answer the following questions keeping her in mind:

  • How should judicial system prosecute a mentally disturbed offender who has committed a serious crime?
    • When answering this question, think about jury selection (should the jury receive training in mental illness). Think about the judges presiding over these cases (should the judge receive training in mental illness).
    • Should Andrea Yates receive the death penalty? Justify your answer.

Part B:

For this, you need to do a bit of investigation. Find out the psychiatrist who testified in Andrea Yates' case.

  • What was his assessment of Andrea's mental health at the time of the crime?
  • What did he testify regarding insanity for Andrea during first and second trial?
  • Without giving out the answer, this psychiatrist provided an information during the first trial which was not true? What was it? Do you think that fictitious statement affected the jury's decision? Should/was this psychiatrist held responsible?
