Last week a man open fire inside an airport in ft. Lauderdale killing five people. Accused of the mass shooting but his motive remains a mystery. Heres a connection between the Mental Illness and similar violent crimes. Last weeks mass shooting once again highlights the issue of severe Mental Illness and violence. Josh joshua wooiner provides insight. Thanks for joining us once again. Sure. Before talking about ft. Lauderdale and the shooter in particular, its important highlights they are rather the victims than the perpetrator. It is with the caveat. People with severe mental i willness are four to five times more likely to be the victims of crimes or violence than the general population. When you look at things like schizophrenia or psychotic disorders are more likely to perpetrate than the general population. The studies are a lie they are no more likely but other studies show in fact they are more likely. So there was one review done a couple of years ago people with schizophrenia, if untreated schizophrenia and in particular if it was combined with Substance Abuse problems, those people are nine times more likely to commit violence. And according to anchorage police, santiago went to the police in anchorage and said his mine was being controlled by u. S. Intelligence and going through voluntary psychiatric evaluations. What types of conditions can lead a person to have delusional thoughts like this . There are a lot of Different Things if i were evaluating him that i would be considering. Number one is hes the prime age for developing Something Like schizophrenia or pbipolar disorder. Substance abuse problems, he also could have had severe sleep problems, chronic insomn someone goes several nights without sleeping, they will develop psychotic thinking. Those are the big things i would be evaluating and seeing whether theres something to support one or the other. And the combination makes it worse . Absolutely. In particular if you have any type of Substance Abuse problem or schizophrenia or by polar disorder and on top of that you stop sleeping, it becomes a big compounding mess and youre much more likely to develop this sort of psychotic thought process where youre out of touch with reality. He completed a tenmonth tour in iraq between 2010 and 2011 and his aunt reported he was never the same after that. Can ptsd also lead someone down this path that creates more issues . Well, so when somebody has ptsd they are often times going to have problems with sleep difficulties. In that sense, yes. Ptsd in and of itself does not cause somebody to have but if they are not sleeping or start selfmedicating with drugs or alcohol to deal with the emotional challenges, you are sitting up a scenario where someone could develop psychotic thoughts or delusions. At what point is the voluntary admission into the hospital and when youre allowed to be released. There are a lot of questions when youre allowed to leave at one point, if somebody too dangerous for himself or the community to leave the hospital. This is the tricky thing. If somebody is clearly psychotic, that in and of itself is not grounds to hospitalize them against they are will. They can only be hospitalized against their will if you have reason to believe they are a danger to themselves or others. What youre trying to do as a psychiatrist. If you evaluate somebody like that in the emergency room, you warra want to help them and youre trying to encourage them to voluntarily sign themselves in. Once somebody agrees and voluntarily sign themselves they can voluntarily sign themselves out. However, if youre in the hospital and then at that point the doctor believes that you are a risk to yourself or others, then they can pursue the grounds to keep you in there. This is a real issue you cant just hold somebody against your will. If you hold somebody, you need to go in front of a judge within 72 hours and convince that judge that that person needs to be held against their will. Very fine line. Thanks so much for joining us.
