Criminal Minds in Mental Health

Why do people go to jail? What caused them to behave this way? What makes them different from everyone else? We can continue asking questions about criminal’s mental health status, but we are never going to find an answer that suits us, simply because there are too many illnesses and few solutions to repairing the illnesses. In fact, some of the causes of criminal behaviors are seated on the criminal justice’s doorstep. At the beginning of criminal justice came forth a bunch of so-called law enforcement groups that claim to bring forth justice. The twisted theories including flogging, beating, hanging, dismembering, public humiliation, beheading, and the list goes on and on. Therefore, we can see the root of criminals start with the criminal justice system. We all influenced by someone else and if our superior examples are illustrating violence to others, what message are they sending to the world? In fact, the first-known psychopath was recorded in the early 1800s. This person followed the example of the justice system by behaving in manners inappropriately. Howard owned his own drug store and worked around people each day, saving lives while taking other lives and destroying them. This is similar to the justice system strategy, since the law saves lives and takes lives. We can also take a look at the various serial killers in our history and see that these people flogged, hung, beat, mutilated, public humiliated his victims, beheaded, dismembered and so forth. While each killer was different from the other, in most cases each had their own strategy to kill and torture another human. The sad part is the law in these time-tortured individuals that committed less than a felony. What a real bad example to follow, and today the law is still in some areas behaving in this manner. Rapists came in to play when the White Supremacist were allowed to rape the black race and get away with it. Although there was rape, cases before this era the White supremacist provoked sick behaviors in others as they followed closely behind the footsteps. We can ask why do people kill, and rarely find an answer since we must look at a mountain of history information to find out what the links truly are. We know that people suffer mental illnesses and some are dangerous while others are not. We can also look at the criminal justice system and see that the system is a failure in many areas, and there are people in prison that are innocent or should not be there at all. We can look at all the examples in our history and see that these people are responsible for some of the behaviors and crimes that go on in the world today. We can also look at the many minds that are locked up in the system to determine why they do what they do. We can also look at society and see how it operates and what part of responsibility they have in the many crimes and criminals actions. For example, what part do you think racism plays in mental health and crime? Well, I am studying criminal justice today and I can tell you it plays a bigger role than most people believe. What part do the media play in mental health and crime? It too plays a large role. Poverty is another major problem that links crime and mental health or illnesses together. When a person has no out, they often resort to crime, sometimes starting small and sadly most times leading to bigger crimes. However, we also have the white collar and blue-collar criminals. These people are not as special as they believe, since many criminals worked important jobs, maintained a family, and socialized in society. In fact, many of the serial killers did not come from deprived homes as claimed by the law. In fact, few came from law biding homes, and most times the person suffering is suffering because he is a child born from a hereditary nation of chaos. We can ask all types of questions but in one article we could never sum of the true colors, since the law, society, political, religions, history, mental illnesses and so on play a part in crime.

Dealing with Anger

Dealing with anger is never easy, since the people are always dealing out problems and reasons for conflict. We have to deal with increases, deflations, war, violence, crime, and everyday common responsibilities with continuous interruptions. There is not one person in a forsaken world that has not gotten mad at some point. Anger is an emotion we all deal with. Anger comes in many forms, but the root of anger is hatred as a result of a lie. This is true. When the first man and woman were created on the earth, the first noted problem was a serpent in the form of Satan that lied to, deceiving the woman. Once the lie took off, the world began suffering many problems, including violence, murder, war, shortages, pests, weather disasters and so forth. Since the first lie, the world has gone chaotic and continues to worsen as the years roll by. We can examine how a lie can instigate anger by looking at one individual. The person engaged in criminal activities, including stealing, writing bad checks, and selling prescription medications. Now this person had to work lying into the picture, since she felt that her behaviors and actions were only a source of survival. Therefore, she was lying covering up her crimes. As the years grew the person became anger and unmanageable as a result of her behaviors, beliefs, thinking, and so forth. The person began acting out as if any uncontrolled anger person would act. This included, under minding others, insulting others verbally and physically, threatening, belittling, mocking, and so forth. The woman was diagnosed with mental illnesses, including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Bipolar. She also had health issues, including diabetes. Now we can look at all the aspects of the person’s anger, yet we can see if we search deep enough that her lying, which caused paranoia was the basis of her behavior problems. Many persons in the world have a problem with anger. Many of the persons with posttraumatic stress disorder often act out angrily reacting to a flashback. This is right! Persons with posttraumatic stress disorder often repress their emotions. When they are violent or angered it is often because they are fighting the source that caused their trauma and not the person in their present. Therefore, we do not see this as the problem of the woman’s anger, since she did not show signs of this in my presence. Therefore, I would exclude posttraumatic stress disorder, or at least minimize the symptoms. We can look at diabetes, since this illness affects the nerves. The shortage of insulin creates additional problems, and many with diabetes will become upset for little or no reason at all. However, most will not act out angrily assaulting or hurting another. Therefore, we can see that emotional problems are underlying the diabetes when they become aggressive. We can also look at the crimes committed and see that we have a serious behavioral problem that leads to lying. Therefore, when we look at this individual we have to deal with the underlying problems to stop her from lying and moving ahead, avoiding anger interruptions. Now, the person is in denial, which means that until the legal system makes her take steps to management, then she probably will not get help herself. In addition, even if the criminal system will force her to get help, it probably will not work, since her denial has been in existing for more than twenty-five years. Now we are dealing with a real anger problem, since the behaviors are life long, which means extensive therapy is needed. Anger is an emotion, but when it interferes with another person’s life, it is a serious problem. This person is not hurting one person, she is hurting everyone since when she steals or write bad checks, society pays with tax increases, as well as other increases. One of the biggest problems I noticed with this type of person is the system and society will allow continuing; only addressing it when someone is caught. Once the person is released then the person continues again. This is a chain of out of control management and anger.

Domestic Violence and Anger

How does anger play a role in Domestic Violence? Simply put most persons that abuse their spouse in this situation are angry due to the antisocial disorder underlying the persons mind. Anger is one of the leading symptoms of personality disorders, which include paranoid schizophrenia, schizoid, antisocial personality, psychopathic, histrionic, sociopath and so forth. Most of the persons that are abusive in relationships have antisocial behaviors personalities. The antisocial personality type often attacks when he or she is drunk or under the influence of drugs. This is not true in all instances, but it is true in most. Antisocial personality types often disregard rules and regulations and often feel they are authorized to do so. Antisocial personality types are controlling and if you are not conforming to their authority, they often vent their anger in a controlling or violent manner. Antisocial personality types will humiliate, intimidate, brutally abuse physically, mentally belittle, and it never stops. This type of individual has never been proven a candidate for recovery. In other words, men that batter their wife in relationships are most likely going to continue until someone dies. It is not wise to engage with these types, as there is rarely a chance of hope. This type will often beat a person, until death becomes the focus. This means someone will die, since this person will become angrier through the years, and often rarely ask for help. Even if he or she does get help, it often fails. I do not recommend starting a relationship with this type of person. The signs are deranged look or expressions, laughing for no apparent purpose, laughing at a situation where a person was harmed, outbursts of anger for no reason, and so forth. This type is superficial and will often lead you to believe he or she is a model to society, when behind closed doors the predator appears. Hate is the underlying source of this person (s) anger, and hate has proven to kill. A deep-seated jealousy is also underlying the anger issues within these types of individuals. Many of these type of angry persons will often take drugs, including cocaine, crack, marijuana, and so forth. They often over succeed the limit of alcohol consumptions and this only increases the odds of them blowing up in a rage. One example can be seen in a small town dubbed Dowagiac, Michigan. The person attempted to kill several women, and was allowed to walk the streets. Little help was provided to this person, and often his outrageous attacks were simply because he could not control the persons involved. The victims were left without justice, and a few even believed that he would change. To date he is sitting in the county jail on a number of charges, including assault of a police office and a hit and run. The police according to witnesses claims that the perpetrator had a weapon, and was drunk when fled and eluded the police and marijuana was also found in the vehicle. This person had an ongoing history of brutally hurting others, and the justice system let those victims down, which led to more anger problems.
Another example of anger is borderline personality types. These people when feeling abandoned will attack others. Sometimes they are physically abusive, while most times they are verbally and mentally abusive. All a person has to do is go to work and when he or she returns home, most likely she or he will be accused. The person might even call the workplace of the mate numerous times to verify that he or she was not abandoned. This is another type of angry person that rarely recovers, and like the antisocial personality types, these types are just as dangerous and manipulative. Paranoid types are also dangerous and manipulative and their anger can never be predicted. In most cases, these types act out on voices outside the head, or psychotic breaks of the mind. Like the antisocial types, the paranoid type rarely has justifiable reason for their behavior. In most cases, it is merely a control issue. This means if the person is out of control he or she will react angrily and violently.

Anger Management Delusions

 Courts are often misconstrued on criminals, and it often leads to destruction rather than recovery.
One man was taking to court for violent behavior, simply because another grabbed his girlfriend in an inappropriate on an area of her body, and he responded out of courtesy to her and to his traditions. Once he went to court, placed on probation, jail time, courts and fines, and after being evaluated by a professional, he claims that the professional said, “He did not have anger problems.” The man has a history of alcoholism, drugs, and child abuse. The counselor told him that he did not have anger problems; rather he had a problem with alcohol and drugs. Another source claims that he had issues, and they were never addressed appropriately, and that anger management classes only made him angrier. The problem with the first guy was that he was fighting for respect since this is how he was raised, and the courts ignored him. They focused on the money rather than understanding what he was dealing with and over dramatized the entire case. This happens every single time that a person goes to court. The courts automatically assume that a person has a problem once they commit a crime. The first man has never acted out violently in his history unless someone disrespected someone he loved. Therefore, he does not have anger problems; he has a problem that goes deeper than anger. The system is nothing more than a gimmick to earn money, and often will take full advantage of a single mistake. The man was an ex-marine that was taught to KILL and to fight, and yet he is not the one with anger. All he ever wanted was for people to leave him alone, and leave alone the ones that he loves. That is all he asks for, and so the ones with anger problem, are not the ones always sitting in an office being evaluated. Most anger problems are stemmed from another source and often this is ignored. They often do not see what the other person did to anger or provoke the person involved in the assault. Therefore, it is always placed on the victim rather than the perpetrator, and this would piss anyone off. The files of Cass County Michigan alone (Corrupted Police and Justice Systems) has hit the charts abroad the Internet, and this is often ignored, while the so-called criminals are hit with persecution for the rest of their lives. The problem then is not the individuals suffering with anger issues, it is the system that is ignoring the truths and subjecting the perpetrators and victims to control.  After carefully evaluating the first man spoken of in this article, I see that the person does not have an anger problem; rather he has symptoms far more complicated than what anger others have to offer. Let’s take a close look at anger and what it really means, before we diagnose another individual of anger problems.  The terms as illustrated in Webster Dictionary are “to make angry,” and/or “to become anger.”
As you can see, ANGER is a source triggered by another source. (This is by no means an excuse for anyone to abuse another person, as no one has that right). In most cases of Domestic Violence, the perpetrator has a serious mental illness that often includes Anger, but other circumstances are involved. This person was not a mental health issue, rather a victim of circumstance, and needs to address is denial of alcoholism. Anger management is controlling a source that is causing trouble. If you want to control sources, you need to address the many issues involved. There are many types of people in the world with various diagnoses, and often it is ignored. The controversy lies between acceptance and denial and someone has to deal with it, yet few ever do. The problem then is alcohol is the underlying source of anger in some cases, but the overlying problem is deeper than what most really want to address.  Anger is a problem but to understand the source you MUST address all underlying and overlying triggers and problems that are involved to deal with the problem.

Psychotherapy Anger Management

When we are angry, we often find a way to deal with the stress that anger brings. Some of us however cannot find a way to deal with our anger. A faithful strategy I used to deal with anger is to handle the situation when the opportunity arises. If someone does something to hurt me, it depends on the situation but I got resources, therefore I put those to good use. When I feel sometimes, I go inside my mind, find a restful area, and talk to myself. I often find humor whether it is ironic, ridiculous dark, humorous, or what have you. Anything that makes me laugh often relieves the stress my body and mind feels when I am angry. Blowing up at the source that made us angry is not the answer. This only creates a more difficult problem. Therefore, if you have a problem with anger you might want to go to anger management where psychotherapy is available. Anger management helps a person to get in contact with his or her mind. It helps them to see that anger is the root of emotions that are out of control. It also helps the person to see that anger can be controlled if you learn behavior strategies to modify your attitude. If you have problems with anger, you might have an underlying situation, which includes mental illness, alcohol or drugs. Do you drink heavily? If so this affects the body, mind, and will make it difficult to manage your anger when you are threatened or feel as though someone let you down. If you are taking drugs, you may want to consider that drugs can cause great harm to both your mind and body and enhance your mood, making it easier for you to explode when you are anger. Drugs never help, they only cause more harm. If you have mental illness, you might want to consult with an expert in the mental health industry to learn more about your problem. Symptoms are a part of mental illness and anger is one of the many signs that mental illness includes. Not every personality disorder has anger problems, but many of the mental ill do. The symptoms may include inability to comprehend, which often causes anger to erupt since the person has difficulty understanding the person speaking with them. Another symptom in mental illness that causes anger is voices outside the head. If you are hearing those negative voices telling you that someone is going to kill you, or instructing you to kill someone you love it can drive a person mad. Hallucination is another symptom in mental illness that can make a person deranged or angry. When you are seeing things that do not exist, yet appear real, it makes you angry inside when the symptoms subside and you find that you are out in left field. Delusions can also trick the emotions and make us feel out of control. When a person does not have control of his or her being, it often frustrates the person, making them angry. Anger is also created when person’s behaviors are criminal, or potentially criminal oriented. If you have a compulsive lying habit then it often degrades your being and makes you angry. You might blow up at someone for simple words, but the source that made you angry is no one but your self. Likewise, if you are thief it is also degrading and will only dehumanize and deprive you of the ability to control your emotions. If you are experiencing any of the listed sources of anger then anger management is a great start to dealing with your emotions and anger. Anger management is a form of psychotherapy that offers you the tools to learn behavior and control anger. The systematic problem can help you to learn to associate with others without blowing your fuse. If you have difficulty, speaking up then anger management will guide you through the steps to recovery. You will address your problems, learn how to manage them, and learn how to function as a healthy person in society. Anger is good, but when it becomes a problem then anger management is the solution to success.
