Psychos go off their meds.
Psycho meds all have possible dangerous psycho side effects.

Psychology degrees are relatively easy to attain.
50 minutes in a psychologist's office, where the psycho knows they're being evaluated, is not a smart way to determine if someone is a danger to themselves or society.
Family members are in a better position to determine on a continual basis whether or not their relatives have lost their minds.
Look at the history of the recent shooters. Their families knew they were nuts.

Get them off the street by locking them up.
The only error in your statement is that the release in the 80s had nothing to do with "Big Pharm". Go back to the news articles of the day and you'll see the entire pressure came from social activists (Democrats) and the ACLU.
