Mentally ill man attempts suicide after clinic replaces his meds with bible study

Alex Jacobsen, 26, was suffering from mental exhaustion and anxiety. He hadn’t slept for days despite being in a faith-based treatment program. He felt hopeless and when he spotted a box knife he grabbed it and held it against his neck pressing harder as it cut through his skin. This all happened 10 days after he stopped taking his medication, which was when he entered himself into the faith-based program.
