When Will People Stop Blaming Mass Shootings On Mental Illness?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Another horrible mass shooting. Another Facebook feed full of people implying that only someone with mental illness would commit such a horrible act when research has shown this to be a false statement. The only person I've ever even thought of killing is myself. How do we stop the stigma?https://psychiatryonline.org/doi/pdf/10.5555/ap...(Phone number can only be seen by MyDepressionTeam users)

They don't want to blame guns so trying to put blame on others even trump repealed a ban on anyone with a mental disability to buy a gun making it easier for more unstable people to buy guns.
