Psychology and More

Ugh. Another awful shooting yesterday. And, another shooter who was psychologically disturbed. Situations like this tend to reinforce the notion that mental illness is associated with violence, and continues to stigmatize the disorders. I always cringe when this kind of media report comes out.

Pure Pedantry has a good posting about the relationships between violence and mental illness, with some good data.
