Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman — formerly the president of the American Psychiatric Association — stopped by “TMZ Live,” sharing some disturbing insight into the multiple rehab facilities … which ultimately failed Rob and Michele Reiner‘s son Nick.

Before his parents’ tragic murders, Nick was in and out of rehab at least 18 times. While Nick struggled with substance abuse, Dr. Lieberman suggested the care he received was palliative at best … and after-care at rehabilitation programs is generally inadequate, resulting in a revolving-door repetition of treatment and release.

Lieberman said, “[Rehab centers] don’t necessarily provide mental healthcare for a primary diagnosis such as schizophrenia, which may have been the reason that impelled Nick to use illegal medications, which he became addicted to.”

Some have pointed out Nick had been displaying warning signs when his medications were altered in a way that left him unstable. While Lieberman says it should fall on doctors to spot dangerous behavior and prescribe in patient care when necessary, he admitted the law ties their hands.

“The rules for civil commitment, or treatment of a patient over objection, or hospitalizing them over objection are so stringent that a person has to literally commit a crime before they can be forcibly admitted to the hospital or required to take medication,” he said.

This even applies in Nick’s case, where he was allegedly using cocaine, which Lieberman said is like “throwing gas on a fire” for schizophrenics.

Lieberman lamented, “What we have here is a result of the inattention to this problem, which is good mental healthcare … We’re introducing to the population ticking time bombs.”

Video from U.S. Dept. of Justice appears to show Jeffrey Epstein attempting to commit suicide in his jail cell … and the footage is graphic.

There’s a date on the video — August 10, 2019 — from the day he was found dead in his cell in Manhattan as he awaited trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

The DOJ began releasing the Epstein Files last Friday, and this video looks like it’s been added to the document dump.

Epstein’s death has been shrouded in conspiracy theories … with lots of folks who just straight up don’t believe he killed himself. The feds say he died by suicide, but Epstein’s brother, Mark, says the convicted pedophile was murdered.

Tylor Chase — best known for his role as Martin Qwerly from Nickelodeon’s “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide” — is living on the streets in California and refusing any and all treatment options … according to police.

Ryan Railsback — Public Information Officer for Riverside Police Department — tells TMZ … officers are very familiar with Chase and interact with him at least once a week.

RPD has a specialized outreach division that regularly engages with unhoused individuals, offering mental health services, drug and alcohol treatment, and temporary shelter.

While some unhoused individuals meet officers with anger or hostility … we’re told Tylor is cooperative and always cordial.

The former Nickelodeon star has recently gone viral after multiple videos show him disheveled on the street. In fact, police made Tylor aware of the viral videos, and he apparently has no issue.

It’s worth noting Tylor is not wanted for any crimes, and police have not spoken with his family.
