During the coronial inquest of the Sydney mass stabbing by Joel Cauchi, psychiatric consensus deemed him psychotic at the time of the attack. However, Dr A, his former psychiatrist, controversially argued otherwise, suggesting factors like frustration and misogyny played a role instead of psychosis. This remark shocked the courtroom and called into question assumptions made about Cauchi's mental health. Subsequently, Dr A retracted her statement, acknowledging it as speculation, while scrutiny was directed towards the healthcare provided to Cauchi, revealing potential oversights in his treatment.
In a surprising turn during the inquest, Dr A, Cauchi's former psychiatrist, stated the mass stabbing was possibly linked to non-psychotic factors such as frustration and misogyny.
Despite a unanimous psychiatric consensus on Cauchi's psychosis at the time of the attack, Dr A's sudden pivot raised serious questions about treatment and judgment.
