Nick Reiner's medication for schizophrenia was adjusted before parents' killings, sources say

Nick Reiner had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and his medication was changed or adjusted at some point before the killings, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the case.

LOS ANGELES — Nick Reiner was diagnosed with schizophrenia several years ago and his medication was changed or adjusted at some point before the killings of his parents, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the case.

A sealed medical order was signed Friday by the judge overseeing the case's initial stages. Nick Reiner, 32, is charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of his parents, renowned filmmaker Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Singer Reiner, 70.

That sealed order may have to deal with Reiner’s mental health condition and treatment. The sources declined to discuss the contents of the order.

Reiner was being treated for a serious psychiatric disorder at the time of his parents’ murder, the three sources said.

He was diagnosed with schizophrenia several years ago and was treated with medication, the sources said. It’s not clear when his medication was changed.
