Un-P.C. headline of the day: Mental illness sent high-school athlete 'right off his rocker'

Comments

With regard to your Un-P.C. headline of the day, four devastated families, as well as the Schizophrenia Society of Nova Scotia (SSNS), are all struggling to deal with a horrific tragedy.

On the "walkable neighborhood" story ... I'm hardly geriatric (late 30s), but I do find my mental health overall improved since I moved to downtown New Brunswick, NJ, home of Rutgers University, which qualifies perfectly as a "walkable neighborhood."
