He was diagnosed at age 21.“Derek’s suicide was not a selfish act at all,” she said.

He was so committed to doing the best that he could in spite of his illness but it just became too much for him and he felt like he had become a burden on everyone around him.”Morey’s bike was purchased at a secondhand store, and he and his grandfather restored it last summer, which is why he was sentimental about it and took it with him, she said.“It meant the world to him and he was so proud of it and the time he spent with Grandpa,” she said.Morey lived in a group home on Milbanke Drive and left on his bike about 12:30 p.m.

Priscilla Coleman, the study’s lead author, said that the study design was an improvement over previous studies because it relied on medical records rather than on surveys of women contacted at an abortion clinic.

[“Depression and Unintended Pregnancy in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth”: a cohort study, British Medical Journal, 324: 151-152.] A pro-abortion research team acknowledged the existence of post-abortion syndrome in a study among 1.4 percent of a sample of women who had abortions two years previously.

One can only imagine that the intended victim of this attack may have reached out to parents, friends and even the pastor of the church for help, but even without having all the details prior to the shooting, this traumatic event underscores the need for the faith community to become more aware of its role in addressing the mental health and other specialized needs of those they serve.

This may be especially important in the African American community because we tend to keep our problems to ourselves and therefore suffer in silence.

From a psychological standpoint, both the intended victim and the alleged shooter were in dire need of help, but sometimes, the faith community is not equipped to meet these needs.

When a crime of this nature happens, it is very easy for one to focus on the criminal aspect while neglecting to consider the mental status of the ...
