 After a violent incident we regularly engage in a discussion about mental health. Mental health is often discussed on the media afterward, as if a mental health condition has caused the violence. On the contrary, persons who are suffering from a mental health condition are frequently more introverted and are more likely to negative self-coping skills (i.e. drug use, self-harm, avoid interactions, etc.) than they are to be violent.
