Local Psychologist talks about Movie Shooting Suspect's Mental State

Posted:

Many are wondering about the Colorado movie theater shooting suspect's mental state.

There is no specific medical information being released about suspect James Holmes.

But doctors say the most likely disorder to afflict someone who would commit such a heinous act is schizophrenia.

We spoke with the Medical Director Dr. Suhayl Nasr at Memorial Health Centers.

He says we should always be aware and concerned if we notice someone in our lives acting strange.

"We're talking about trying to always be mindful." said Memorial Health Centers Doctor Suhayl Nasr. "We should also be aware of people acting odd and who isolate themselves and try to get them help."

Dr. Nasr also says we should realize that the tragedy in Colorado was an isolated incident.... and we should not live our lives in fear.
