Its the 25th year that the National Alliance on Mental Illness has used the first week of october to offer support and to end the stigma that can come with Mental Health issues. This morning were looking at some of the issues that affect people in our area the most. Dr. Joshua weiner joins us now. We want to talk about something that timely affects us, the oregon shooter who is said to have asburgers syndrome. Many say theres no connection between asbergers and violence. Do you agree . In general, yes. People with autistic Spectrum Disorders do have difficulty in general with managing their tempers. They have a low frustration tolerance and a harder time calming themselves down if theyre disappointed or upset with something. I have one patient in my practice on the spectrum who punched his teacher and broke her ribs when he was upset with something she was doing. With all of that said, i would have no problems with my children hanging out with a kid who has a spectrum disorder. Its very, very uncommon for the vast majority of them to become really violent. Its said that only 5 of violent acts are committed by people with a mental problem and people with mental problems are more often the victims. What do you say about that . This one confuses me. I hear this i heard other psychiatrists talk about that, and i think its strange. The vast majority of people with Mental Illness, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder are not more likely to become violent. But if somebody becomes extremely violent, like this shooter o a spouse killed because the other spouse is cheating on them. We may not have a label for it now in the diagnostic and statistical manual, but there is something wrong clearly with that person mentally, whether its an impulse control disorder or they have an anger management problem or a personality disorder. I think its strange to say they dont have a Mental Illness of any type. We want to talk more about the stigma and misconceptions of Mental Illness.
