Existing scientific evidence paints a complex—if incomplete—picture of the causes of mass shootings and other acts of serious violence. Until recently, a congressional ban on federal funding for most gun-related research has prevented scientists and scholars from conducting the full range of interdisciplinary studies that would provide a better understanding of the problem and point the way to effective solutions.8

In what follows, we outline a four-part strategy for future research in mental health and complementary disciplines that will broaden our understanding of these tragic events and how to effectively prevent them.

Acts of mass murder implicate the psychologies of perpetrators. A better understanding of the reasons behind their behaviors—a kind of “rationality within irrationality”10—remains important to the hope of preventing such crimes in the future.11 Retrospective analyses suggest that a nontrivial minority of high-profile mass shooters demonstrated clinical symptoms, including paranoia, depression, and delusions, at some point in their lives.12–14 Still, the assumption that mass shootings are driven solely or even primarily by diagnosable psychopathology stretches the limits of mental health expertise. It also sets up a false expectation that advancing neuroscience and better therapies to manage psychiatric symptoms will provide “the answer” to solving gun violence. There is no existing or forthcoming unified theory of impaired brain functioning or of cognitive, mood, or behavioral dysregulation that could adequately explain mass shootings or multiple-victim gun homicides.


Symptoms of mental illness by themselves rarely cause violent behavior and thus cannot reliably predict it.......

Mental health is the biggest problem.

No, because mental health is a worldwide problem the easy availability of guns makes the U.S. the outlier in the cause of not just suicides by gun but in mass shootings.

Gun availability is the 'control' in this experiment, the constant that never changes for us and which does not exist elsewhere.

conix, Again you deflect from the central point of a post. Again, as per normal with you, you had to be corrected by, in this case, blackhawks, who told you, the article made clear the availability of guns is the key. And again, as per your practice, you reply by ignoring the correction, thereby avoiding your need to deal with it. More of your 'questions in denial' let's us call them this time.

The strawman question 'what is blackhawks' solution', as you played on me.

A total change of focus by you enabling you to continue to deny, ignore and continue to
not deal with the point of the article. Could call it a favorite bait and switch of yours.

So it came yet again to you dropping your baton .. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=169113009 , and moving on to Sod knows where.

The availability of guns it clearly said was the key to so many gun killings in the US. Deal with that. Continue honest conversations posters here still have the decency to strive to have with you.

Ah, now i see you have returned this time.
