Tonight: Newtown's shadow illuminates social sickness

Connecticut is just the latest and most massive tragedy in our country. Our society is sick, and the question now is how to fix it. Dr. Drew and his panel examine mental illness and the glorification of violence in movies, music, and video games. What are the solutions?

Dr. Mehmet Oz joins Dr. Drew to discuss the physiology of the brain: what happens when there is real mental illness and why is it so hard to understand someone's thinking when they methodically plan and carry out a mass killing?

Submit questions for Dr. Drew here or call 1-855-DRDREW5.

Dr. Drew On Call airs Monday through Wednesday on HLN at 9 p.m. ET. Follow the show on Facebook and Twitter @DrDrewHLN
