There are people with mental illness among us, and in order to gain attention, they commit unspeakable crimes.
Mental health is not a disease but a disability in which its reality can become problematic for everyone without help. The mass shootings stem from individuals who have not been help or is off their medications to avert them from criminal activity. Suicides are high amongst our youth, due to depression and those that surround them fail or refuse to acknowledge their cry for help. If we desire to live free and enjoy life, we urgently must answer the mental ill in our families, communities and workplace cry for help, or they will inevitably kill us or themselves to gain attention we ignored.
The vast majority of the mentally ill are responsible for only a small number of acts of violence. It is rare for the mentally ill to commit unspeakable crimes. Shootings are almost always planned and committed by sane, rational people. Violence is more a matter of one's personal character than it is of illness. Numbers of violent crimes are committed by a small percentage of schizophrenics over sane people in numbers of total offenders. Mental health is a disease, and in some cases, a disability. The mentally ill are highly stigmatized.
