    Im going to tell you straight up , being a person with mental health issues myself. Its the way we treat eachother. Wheres the love in this world. I only have psychotic episodes when i feel screwed over or when i am screwed over . Be nice to me and treat me like a friend and ill watch ur back and be there for u. But when u are treated totally differently and treated like trash something snaps. Im a very good guy but if u decide to abuse me i wont allow it. I cant.

    I know what you mean. Kindness can go a long way to making life more endurable, enjoyable and even meaningful. I am easily thrown off kilter by insensitive people, mean people, or narcissistic people. It would only take a small amount of sustained basic kindness to even things out. I have a master's degree in clinical psychology, but it doesn't make it any easier to navigate a rather hostile environment.

    To say that mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders is not the cause for criminal behaviors is too broad. Short answer is that most mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders is not the cause for criminal behaviors, but long answer is that mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders is the cause for criminal behaviors, but it depends on what mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders we are talking about. The problem is that there are a lot of mental health and neurodevelopental disorders and each mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders are not the same to each other. Statistically, most people with mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders are more likely to be victims than being perpetrators. There are however small-subgroup of people with mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders that commit crimes. There are however some mental disorders that is related to criminal behaviors, it includes specific command hallucinations, specific delusions of paranoid and grandiose themes, and Erotomania, specific pathological jealousy , but criminal behaviors is more related to Distributive, Impulsive Control and Conduct Disorders, especially Antisocial Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder and specific Paraphilic Disorders. About Bipolar Disorder, criminal behaviors is more associated with Distributive, Impulsive Control and Conduct Disorders, and specific Paraphilic Disorders. Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder includes impulsively and risky behaviors. About Communication Disorders and Autism Spectrum Disorder, criminal behaviors in Communication Disorders and Autism Spectrum Disorder is mostly related to lack of social skills, not out of maliciousness or sadism.

    I like to see the subgroups broken down. People with emotional issues and certain personality disorders really are at the mercy of society, which claims to be there for those who need support, when in fact, millions cannot afford treatment or the care they need. (In the U.S.) That is bad enough without being lumped together with serial killers and so forth.

    Hi Margit. I thought of an interesting case you probably have heard of. His name is Michael Aleg. I think that's the right spelling. He had enormous personality that drew people to him. The interview of him in prison (NY?) was fascinating. It was difficult not to like him even though he had done some really awful things. His drug taking fueled a gruesome murder. I wonder if you could take a look and comment on his psychological profile. Be careful, he's incredibly charming 😉 Thank you.
