Dr. H. Clarke Romans is the executive director of the Southern Arizona chapter of National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Romans appeared as a guest commentator on the 17 January 2011 edition of Countdown with Keith Olbermann, discussing the revelation that Jared Lee Loughner had exhibited signs of mental illness in the years leading up to the Tucson shooting, and the debate over whether individual freedom should outweigh public safety regarding behavior that appears indicative of mental illness.
