PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) – Terrence “Terry” Scott, a Palm Springs resident, has been missing for over a month according to his family members. Scott’s family says he has schizophrenia and takes daily medication. <\/p>\n
“He’s gone and he’s missing a month now, that’s not okay,” says William Warne, his roommate. <\/p>\n
He was last seen on January 5th near his home in the area of South Farrell Drive & East Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs. His roommates say they also have mental health issues and can relate to Scott.<\/p>\n
“When you break from reality like that, you’re not certain of anything. And it leaves one in a situation to be victimized. So that’s the scary part,” says Eric Montanez.<\/p>\n
His family lives on the east coast and says it’s been extremely challenging to find him, and believe there should be more help for people with mental illness. <\/p>\n
“The help there is not where I feel like it should be for people with mental health issues, especially schizophrenia. And a lot of times they consider him voluntarily missing, but he’s not able to make decisions for himself,” says his sister Brittany Johnson Scott. <\/p>\n
