The symptoms that Mass Killer James Holmes exhibited in court were consistent with the onset of Narcolepsy. The yawning and the flexing of the eyebrows. Hypnogogic dreaming can produce voices when falling asleep or upon wakening. This occurs only with a partial sleep state and does not indicate schizophrenia. It is usually easily treated.
The Zombie problem occurs when Narcolepsy is treated with drugs for schizophrenia (Hypnogogic dreaming can produce voices). These are exactly the wrong drugs for Narcolepsy. They increase depression, anxiety and make the Narcoleptic even sleepier.
This mistake creates a Zombie who may become violent since the onset of Narcolepsy can be rapid and the loss of cognitive function can produce anger. Combine this with the wrong drug treatment and you can have a violent Zombie on your hands.
Later court appearances showed a very subdued James Holmes in control of his faculties.
A rare Jekyll and Hyde example reaction to misdiagnoses of a rare disease? Narcolepsy is 20 times rarer than schizophrenia.
