I don't remember much about this guy, but if you think an ex-wife in the middle of divorce proceedings is a reputable source for anything you're a kind of retarded that can't be fixed.

Court exhibits also include photos of his medication which includes quetiapine which is typically prescribed for schizophrenia

Next to a sleep med, a SSRI, another sleep med, and an anti-anxiety med. Other than schizophrenia, Quetiapine is used for depression, bipolar, and off-label as a sleep aid. Which seem more in line with the other 4 pictured than schizophrenia.

>threats to your family
>I have seen him take many illegal drugs
>hostile views about women

This is like a speedrun of divorce accusations. The only thing that's odd is the accusation of abusing someone else's children instead of theirs.

Yeah I'm familiar with 3 of the 5 drugs pictured and I think I might know what a 4th is. It's anti-anxiety/sleep stuff that may or may not also be for bipolar/depression. Considering the house of horrors his cunt wife is subjecting him to it's little wonder he needs it.

Never make a person the center of your political ideology, they'll always fail you (cough cough Boomers & Trump).

Also, on par for a Youth Pastor. I had two great ones back in the day, but it's the position that should be most scrutinized not just for theological purpose, but to weed out any creeps.

I volunteer with the youth at church and even as a volunteer I have to do security checks and other trainings every year. I understand why

Anyone that trusted Schaeffer needs their head examined

There are five medications in the photos. The woman correctly identifies two:

'Xanax' (alprazolam): Used for: Epileptic seizures, anxiety disorder (as needed)

'Seroquel' (quetiapine): Used for: Psychosis, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder (could use low dose for maintenance and/or higher dose as needed)

The three in the photos:

Escitalopram: Used for: Depression, anxiety disorder (maintenance)

Hydroxyzine: Used for: Anti-histamine, anxiety disorder (as needed)

Eszopiclone: Used for: Insomnia

The commonality is anxiety disorder. Unless there are other medications, what he has probably wouldn't be effective for bipolar disorder since none of these medications are mood stabilizers. The article does suggest psychotic symptoms, which quetiapine would well fit with (strong choice for someone with both anxiety and psychosis, even better if bipolar disorder also present).

What he's got is an anxiolytic arsenal: what you might think of as a pharmaceutical way to mass obliterate anxiety.

We can rule out the remaining diagnoses I've identified. It is unlikely that he has a separate depressive disorder. Depression is often comorbid with anxiety disorder. Escitalopram is also FDA-approved for Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

It is unlikely that he has epilepsy, since there is no gabapentin, pregablin, etc. prescribed (and since pregablin is effective for both anxiety and epilepsy, it would be a strong choice for someone who has both mental problems).

Insomnia is a common anxiety disorder side effect.

In conclusion, he probably has anxiety disorder. The other two, bipolar disorder and psychosis, are only possibilities. 'Diagnosed manic' could simply be the side effect of a drug: he might not necessarily have bipolar disorder. Psychotic symptoms can also be side effects of a drug: he might not necessarily have psychosis, either. For all we know, he could have used drugs (e.g. marijuana) before acting in ways that suggest psychosis. Some of the evidence might be overblown: him suspecting that the FBI are trying to kill him doesn't seem particularly irrational given who he is. For all we know, he could have received credible death threats, etc.

This combination of medications comes at a cost: for instance, alprazolam dependence and tolerance is a thing, quetiapine sedation and weight gain is a thing.

I don't know or pay any attention to Elijah Schaffer. It's just a name that I hear. Consequently, I didn't realize that he was only 32. I think it is sad that late-modernity is leading people to be already on five medications by the age of 32.

Get your stress levels under control: L-Theanine is practically side effect-free (also helps with insomnia, ineffective for serious anxiety disorders but useful for mild anxiety), long-term camomile usage helps with insomnia, passionflower is also effective for anxiety (to a lesser extent also with insomnia) with long-term usage. Don't let yourselves get stressed out by the late-modern world to the extent that you develop anxiety disorders and end up needing to take multiple medications.
