Stanford Study: Most Mass Shooters Have Undiagnosed Psychiatric Illnesses

Just opinion and not meant to disparage the college educated but everyone in government has a college education so look around, how is the country doing?

I recall in the 80s the universities said we had to destroy the economy of the NW to save the spotted owl, how did that work out

 

[Alexx1401]

I see of course others thought same thing I did. As soon as I read the title all I could think is someone needed a "study" to figure this out huh?

 

[nehalemguy]

Shocker.

Stanford, schmanford.

Ted kaczynski was a Harvard man .

This is a slippery slope, the report states undocumented issues, which means that a physician had not diagnosed a previous issue that could have prevented a tragedy. This report could bring a push for psychological evaluations to buy our toys. Another thought is that the report did not mention documented issues, which is good and bad, as a visit to the psychiatrist for PTSD or a marriage disagreement could potentially bar your from purchases.

except there is already a due process to mentally adjudicate someone which prohibits them from guns.

The problem here is most of these cases the suspect has a history that probably already qualifies them, but at some point there will be people that dont have a history and there is no way to know they are about to flip out and society shut down mental institutions years ago in leiu of letting people medicate themselves and live in the population.... not working out so well.

A mass shooting is merely a shooting where several people or more are injured or killed. It doesn't matter what circumstance.

thats the anti gun medias definition anyways.

A mass shooting is where the suspect intends to take his problems out on society not some other crime related incident that happened to involve more than 3 victims.

Koda is on point tonight.

Have they yet identified the mental conditions / defects that attract people to seek positions of power in government?

Think of all the time and tax payer money they could waste on that study.

Oh , you know those results would end up here.

How many gangbangers in S. bubblegumcago are mentally ill?

 

[po18guy]

I'm going to go way out on a limb here and suggest that serial killers just might have similar, um...difficulties.

Actually, CEO's are typically sociopaths as well.

96 ish time magazine had a story about mass shooters and how many were on psychotropics or mood stabilizers or NSAIDS
they had stopped cold turkey and that was what caused a psychotic reaction on an extreme scale.

Things that appear to be obvious deserve investigation, as very often they aren't true at all. Most people in America who haven't read specific studies believe that more gun control laws would lead to less gun crime. It seems obvious to them. It just doesn't happen to be true.

Stanford Study: Most Mass Shooters Have Undiagnosed Psychiatric Illnesses

Over half of the perpetrators were found to have schizophrenia, with psychotic symptoms including the belief they were receiving messages from demons and seeing hallucinations ordering them to “kill, burn or destroy.”

Domestic Mass Shooters

The Association With Unmedicated and Untreated Psychiatric Illness

Glick, Ira D. MD*; Cerfolio, Nina E. MD†; Kamis, Danielle MD‡; Laurence, Michael JD§ Domestic Mass Shooters, Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology: June 7, 2021 - Volume Publish Ahead of Print - Issue -
doi: 10.1097/JCP.0000000000001417

Twenty-eight of 35 cases in which the assailant survived had a psychiatric diagnosis—18 with schizophrenia, 3 with bipolar I disorders, 2 with delusional disorders, persecutory type, 2 with personality disorders (1 paranoid and 1 borderline), 2 with substance-related disorders without other psychiatric diagnoses, and 1 with posttraumatic stress disorder. Four had no psychiatric diagnosis, and in 3, we did not have enough information to make a diagnosis.

Of 15 of 20 cases in which the assailant died, 8 had schizophrenia. None of those diagnosed with psychiatric illnesses were treated with medication.

Conclusions

A significant proportion of mass shooters experienced unmedicated and untreated psychiatric disorder.

I doubt there is any Harvard study on whether water is wet because this is just a matter of definition.

Some exclude gang shootings from the "mass shooting" definition, I guess they don't count.
