Episode 17--Mass Shootings and Mental Health

This is episode 17—Mass Shootings and Mental Health. Some of the questions addressed include are mass shooters mentally ill? Is it possible to predict when a mass murder such as in El Paso will occur—and to stop it from happening? Why does America have many times more mass killings than any other nation? Could psychotherapy before such an incident help prevent future victims? What are the dangers of diagnosing someone at a distance?
