    He told law enforcement officials he had visited a storage area the day before and picked up a bottle of bleach

    That sounds way too premeditated to be explained by simple mental illness.

      After the past year, I can believe it.

      I hope you never have to deal with a family member with paranoid schizophrenia.

      Ah, you think it was complex mental illness?

      In all seriousness though, moving a bottle of bleach the day before is still within the capability of someone experiencing an acute mental illness.

      Of course, it’s pure speculation either way at this point.

      I’d argue that premeditating something like this is a rather strong indicator of some form of mental illness.
