If you have read any of my previous writings you know that I am amazed over and over that people do not think they have mental health.
Everyone has mental health. Some people are healthier than others. Psychological well being is the sum of genetics and learned behaviors. These two components are integrated in an ongoing fashion, meaning one constantly affects the other so it can get very complicated. However, there is much that can be understand by this simplification.
People make choices. What causes people to choose to do what they do is a result of how they feel and what they think. Why they think as they do can be either genetic or learned.
So people who commit crimes...do they learn that committing crimes is the best choice for them ? or is their some genetic predisposition that causes them to think it is OK or appropriate to commit crimes?
Either way criminal behavior is a result of poor mental health or psychological well being.
All mental health is not about diagnosable illness...it is about all aspects of thinking, feeling, and behaving in healthy ways!
