As someone who is clinically diagnosed with mental disorders (Bipolar 2, PTSD and GAD) and has been (properly) treated since 2010, I wonder how particular offenders (Bundy, Dahmer) would have turned out had their conditions been caught and treated prior to their crimes. I know there's a lot of stigma (and finger-pointing) behind certain violent behaviors (guns, abuse, drug addiction, etc.,) but do you think preventative measures such as therapy and medication could have prevented the crimes Ted (and others like him) committed?
