Although single-victim parricide by both adult and juvenile offenders has been studied, relatively little is known about the slaying of both mothers and fathers. One of the first systematic studies using a national database took place only 10 years ago (Fegadel & Heide, 2015), examining the characteristics of the offender, the victims, and the incidents themselves. In the period between 1991 and 2010, 45 incidents were identified, 35 of which were committed by offenders acting alone.

San Francisco General Hospital's Ward 86 derived its name by being sited on the sixth floor of Building 80, an aging red brick tower on the north end of the sprawling hospital campus. It was the first HIV/AIDS outpatient clinic in the nation, opening its doors on Jan. 1, 1983. Until its abrupt closure after last week's stabbing of social worker Alberto Rangel, allegedly by one of the clinic's patients, it hosted a drop-in clinic five days a week.

Her madness seeps into the everyday: a shower caddy's arrangement becomes proof of conspiracy, and breakdown coexists with term papers, hookups, and trips to TJ Maxx. Avoiding romance and melodrama, deBoer writes in an affectless register that mirrors Alice's dissociation. The novel's power lies in its relentless banality-the mind churning while life's machinery grinds on. During a halting recovery, Alice develops "deep intuitions" about her medications, which, she suspects, interact "like hot-tempered roommates in the shabby apartment of her brain."

Damien Hurstel, 19, allegedly calmly admitted to cops at the NYPD's 120th Precinct that he fatally bludgeoned the 45-year-old sanitation department worker over the head with a meat tenderizer because he wanted to know what it was like to kill someone, sources told The Post. The alleged spare-no-details confession came after cops took Hurstel, who has a long history of mental illness, into custody Monday evening, according to the sources.

It was supposed to be just another masquerade. As daylight turned to dusk on 28 January 1393, servants rushed through the halls of the Hôtel Saint-Pol in Paris, making the final arrangements for what promised to be an evening of fun and revelry. Large spreads of food were set out on tables; musicians readied their instruments. And, in an adjoining room, six young noblemen were being sewn into costumes of linen and flax, to resemble the wild wood savages of fairy tale legend.

The Third Realm is quite different from the first two books in Knausgard's Morning Star series, even though the characters come from the earlier novels. With breathtaking confidence, Knausgard mirrors the first book, The Morning Star, giving us other, richer perspectives on the material. The book opens and closes with Tove, the manic-depressive wife of the jaded academic Arne. And her mix of despair and insight, humour and visionary brilliance turns out to be what these novels need most.

The loss of ability, relationships, and identity due to mental illness can create a profound layer of grief that is often overlooked.

Dr. Jean-Martin Charcot developed a theory of hysteria, reinterpreting the condition as a neurological disorder and arguing that it could affect men as well as women.

Mental illness is just a part of you, not all of you. It's just like a lot of other serious illnesses. It's not your fault that you got sick. It happens a lot. And lots of people get well.

San Jose Police Chief Paul Joseph described the case as "the most disturbing murder case" of his 33-year career, emphasizing the traumatic impact on responding officers.
