Do mentally healthy people commit mass murder?

Thanks for the link:

They also found that mass shooters in the United States were more likely to have legal histories, use recreational drugs, abuse alcohol, and have histories of non-psychotic psychiatric or neurologic symptoms.

In addition, the researchers noted that most mass shooters used non-automatic firearms. Among U.S. mass shooters, those with any psychiatric or neurologic condition were more likely to use semi-automatic guns than non-automatic guns. They also found that since 1970, the rate of mass shootings has been far higher than the rate of non-firearm mass murder, and that the vast majority of mass shootings in the world have been in the United States.


One problem is the legal definition of insanity versus the medical definition.
 
Healthy societies dont have large numbers of mass killings as we do.

We are sick.

Agreed. What potential causes can we identify?

I'd suggest these for starters:

Emasculation of men
Single parent families mostly headed by a woman
85%+ of all K - 12 teachers are women
The shift to the radical Left in education
Woke culture
Political correctness

Republicans blame mental health issues for gun violence. So where’s the money for car

“We as a state, we as a society need to do a better job with mental health,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said after an 18-year-old gunned down 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde using military-grade weapons he had legally acquired. “Anybody who shoots somebody else has a mental health challenge. Period. We as a government need to find a way to target that mental health challenge and to do something about it.”

Texas, for instance, ranks last of all 50 states in overall access to mental health care, according to the nonprofit Mental Health America. The ranking is based on available data on measures such as the shares of adults and children with mental health issues who have been unable to receive treatment.
