Mental Health Analysis On Why Mass Shootings Have Become Commonplace In America

Mental Health Analysis On South Florida High School Shooter & Why Mass Shootings Have Become Commonplace In America 

A heavily armed 19-year-old who had been expelled from a South Florida high school opened fire on campus shortly before classes let out Wednesday, killing 17 people while terrified students barricaded themselves inside classrooms, police said. The Broward County sheriff identified the suspect as Nikolas Cruz, who had recently attended the school but had been kicked out for “disciplinary reasons.”

Dr. Huber Answers: Questions

What is your initial psychological analysis thus far based on what we know about mass murderer Nikolas Cruz?

Do mass shooters share common characteristics and if so what are they?

Why do you think mass shootings have become so common in America – what do you think are some of the underlying causes behind them?

In the past few years in America we’ve experienced mass shootings at movie theatres, concerts, churches, and even night clubs. Do you think that these horrific events have caused millions of Americans to live in a perpetual state of fear?

Living a Healthy Lifestyle VS a Positive Body Image Mindset

Living a Healthy Lifestyle VS a Positive Body Image Mindset 

Kenneth Rippetoe OneWiththeWater.org

Like the Chicken and the Egg, which came first? Is it a positive body image mindset or living a healthy lifestyle? Why can’t we have both? People show significant improvement in social well-being and mental health when they live a healthy lifestyle. By facing your fears through a meditative exercise like swimming, you can be coached into creating a positive mindset that will help you truly want to live a healthy lifestyle. First, what happens to our health physically, emotionally, and spiritually when we’re 50+ pounds overweight? The tricky part is that once our bodies are carrying extra weight, it becomes exponentially harder to lose it. We lose the ability to process calories correctly and the weight comes off slower. Plus, according to research gathered by Harvard Health Publications, being moderately overweight more than doubles the risk of over FIFTY different health conditions, including depression.

Through Satori Lifestyle Coaching, Yoga Philosophy and Practice and a combination of East and West Psychology philosophy, Mitchem has taken many women from what she refers to as their rock bottom “Divorce 911” moments to moving on and thriving in the next chapter of their lives.  

Kathryn’s 5 Steps to Disengaging From and Moving On From a Narcissistic Ex

Step 1 Learn the characteristics of Narcissistic, and realize that their behavior has nothing to do with you; it has everything to do with them and their unhealed wounds. 

–They lack empathy: they are unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others. They do not consider, or care about, the pain they inflict on others. Do not expect them to listen, validate, understand or support you.

–They have a grandiose sense of self. They believe they can choose to act outside of legal boundaries and/or commitments. 

–They are masters of projection and dishonesty. They project their own subconscious negative self-judgements onto their targets.

A Psychological Analysis On Santa Clause Reveals Father Christmas Needs Therapy

To millions of children, Santa Claus is a beloved, colorful individual who brings them joy. However, if we dig deeper and examine Santa’s personality qualities it reveals that this is a deeply disturbed individual. The fact that Santa “sees you when you’re sleeping and knows when you’re awake” is a characteristic associated with tyrants. It’s quite disturbing. The all-seeing eye keeps those who are observed in a perpetual state of fear. Having privacy and personal space are positive components to an individuals mental health.

Santa Claus has a naughty and nice list which reveals he is judgmental. According to Caroline J. Simon Ph.D “Being judgmental distorts our perception of other people, of ourselves and of what matters most in living a well-lived human life. It feeds on and engenders a lack of sympathetic understanding of others.  It is often linked with other related character flaws: hypocrisy, self-righteousness, malice, insensitivity, and the enjoyment of destructive gossip.”

Santa is grossly overweight which could indicate that he is an emotional eater. It could also indicate that he may not think too highly of himself knowing the long term effects of obesity can be heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and others. 

Santa only works one day a year which may reveal that he has a lack of motivation or ambition to do more things with his life. Santa still wears the same outfit he’s worn for the past two hundred plus years which could also indicate that he’s not a risk taker.

Overall, I think that Santa Claus should start seeing a therapist because he does have a plethora of issues that deserve immediate attention.
