The head of the community psychiatry service in Shkodër, Gjon Preçi, has reacted to the tragedy with four victims.
He said that Alma Arrazi was not a patient with mental health problems.
The doctor informed that a few years ago she received medication for anxiety and mood disorders, but she was not a patient with major psychiatric problems.
Alma Arrazi received her last service two years ago and the medication she had was not for chronic diseases.
" I have responded to the interest of the media and the public by saying that over time additional data has emerged. She has not been a patient with mental health problems. A few years ago he received service for mood disorder with anxiety. She was not a patient with major psychiatric problems because if she was, she would be followed by us and would have a card and would be treated. She received a service for a specific problem as anyone can and was not a chronic patient with major mental health problems.
Of course, there are always unexpected developments, but two years ago that I had a contact, I no longer know how things developed with her and it has not been confirmed by our services that there may have been problems that led her to that decision. Two years ago, she received her last service, and my family members reminded me of this because I don't remember her as a patient. The treatment he had was not of the nature of a chronic illness.
A certain period must pass for a person to be called chronic. If there is anxiety, insomnia or the like and the fact that there is a prescription, it is not assumed that he was with a serious disability, a danger to himself or others.
All over the world, there is an attempt to hide the official documentation for a certain service when it is not chronic, this also due to the risk of stigmatization in society where they can tell you that you are crazy. 50% or 60% of cases are not documented all over the world and this is a statistic. We register them in other cases when they ask to be employed, for a business or other requests then we tell them wait that there is this condition.
Of course, the parties present to the court documents that they think are valid. I had a phone call from the prosecutor and I told him to give me time to clarify and in the conversations with my staff he was not confirmed as a person registered and treated by us and I gave this answer , said the doctor.
