Do Mentally Unstable Cause Violence out of Their Will?

Mental instability of a person is most unfortunate for him as well as his family. When a subject is diagnosed with mental in stable condition like madness, delusions, psychic disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia etc, in most prevalent cases he will be lonely supported only by his family or close friends. He is seen as a tormentor by the neighbors in general. But statistics has a different say in this regards. It has been observed in a survey that mentally unstable people experience more violence and wrath of people in comparison to the violence they inflict on them. Astonishing is it not? Unfortunately this is true.

• Reasons behind the Violence

A mentally unstable person bears the brunt of brutal violence as he does not know how to react. When he tries to voice his defense, people hardly take him seriously and this irritates them further. As a result they try to harm the ones who caused physical or mental assault upon them. In some other scenarios where the subject suffers from delusion he tends to see things which others do not see and he also hears sounds which others cannot hear. When people blame or make fun of him for his erratic actions these people tend to get violent. Thus the ultimate reason for a mentally unstable person to get harmful is the unaccountable physical and mental torture that has been inflicted upon them.

• Prevention of Unstability

Preventing a severely mentally unstable person to cause violence is easy. All one needs to do is to keep them indoor or admit them to an asylum where he can be taken care of under medical supervision. But people with bipolar disorders, delusional disorders, depression or schizophrenia will look very natural and normal in general circumstances. These people should realize their self and their state of mind and preempt themselves with anti-depressant so that they can still be counted safe.

Mental health and violence are interconnected as violence is defined as a result of mental aggressiveness. A healthy person too can turn violent when his mind stops to guide him in the right path. There are numerous societies and non-profitable organization networks who work seamlessly to explain common people about the mental makeup of such pitiable souls so that the world can perceive their goodness and help these people live a better life to enjoy the bounties of nature.
