It’s important to remember that most people with mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders are more likely to be victims than being perpetrators.
One thing that scared me is I watched murder mysteries, Most Evil and those documentaries explains how delusions motivate those types of serial killers. Most of those serial killers were found NGRI, but some of those killers where found guilty at first, after some time in prison, their delusions became worse and they were also found NGRI as well. I think it’s because to be a serial killer, you need to be very intelligent and especially to cover your tracks, and another reason why some of those killers were found guilty at first, it is because they seem to know right from wrong, by the judge asking simple questions, if they understand the charges, some of those delusional killers said that they do, but were later found NGRI after being found sane. Another thing that scared me is slander case, one of them were found guilty, but I heard they they were also civility committed.
It’s like an isolated link between specific types of mental health and criminal behavior. Because, there is such thing as Insanity defence, incompetence, diminished capacity.
I was thinking I was evil just now and I deserved to die even though I have committed no crime except a few years ago when I was arrested. I thought my thinking is just so bad I need to die, that I’m so judgemental of people that I received a judgement myself. When I go out in public I’m paranoid people think I’m evil and a danger. My mind is so dark it’s hard to know what is going on myself. I’m alone all the time and there’s no one to see except when I get out for a walk. You lose your ability to judge things properly and reason. Why should a crazy person’s judgement mean anything? You can be cognizant of your charges and be crazy. You can know what is considered crazy and be crazy. You can know what other people consider something wrong and be crazy. You can read and be totally insane. The criminal system is stupid. How can a person not know what he’s doing? It’s impossible, except when they black out.
All the points you make are valid, but I would say there are exceptions to the rule. There is a story of the nurse that was administering overdoses to cancer patients. In his mind at the time, he was performing Mercy killings under the direct orders of God. If legitimate, I can’t help but think there should be exceptions made. The safety of the community must come first, of course.
Why when it comes to severe Schizophrenia, it is much easier to proof NGRI than Delusional Disorder?
I am sorry that I asked, because most serial killers with Schizophrenia are found NGRI right after committing crimes, but serial killers with Delusional Disorder are found guilty at first
I don’t like the word insanity, I think NCR, Not Criminally Responsible is a better word, because those killers seemed to know right from wrong on paper, but their delusions clouded their judgment. I just hate the word insanity, because even delusional people know that commiting crimes is wrong, but can act on a specific delusion that they think is justified, but outside of that delusion, they understand right from wrong.
I don’t really think it has to do with being a savant per say, being a serial criminal and hurting innocent people is very unhealthy, because you start to twist your fantasies and then act on your thoughts, making delusional excuses why you became a serial criminal and hurting innocent people. It’s reasons that a very healthy individual, individual without personality disorders that causes twisted fantasies will not understand. There is no good reason to hurt innocent people repeatedly, and it’s not healthy.
I don’t really agree with one thing from that article. Becoming a serial criminal, and hurting innocent people can cause delusions. There is no good reason to hurt innocent people repeatedly. There is some kind of twisted paranoid fantasies and explanations those types of criminals make after they are cought and interviewed. It’s just very unhealthy.
Those delusional thinking are causing by personality disorders.
