<modsnip> Even a qualified Psychiatrist would never make such assertions about anything they have only read about versus having performed an indepth in-person assessment.

By the way, a diagnosis of mental illness is made by more than just noting "symptoms." It most often involves multiple and lengthy interview/evaluation sessions between the client and a qualified diagnostician (Psychiatrist). None of us here are qualified to infer, imply or state with any verified certainty that TK or his mother have any mental illness.

In my opinion, <modsnip>. No one in this world is born "evil", it's much more complex than that, and the only way people with the traits to become serial killers are helped is through early intervention and understanding. Mental illness is an illness just like chicken pox or heart disease. It's an illness of the brain and diagnosis are made by looking at the symptoms that are exhibited by that illness. TK presents symptoms of being a sociapath and his mother presents symptoms of a personality disorder as well. It would take a doctor to officially diagnose them, of course, but anyone who is very familiar with the symptoms of certain mental illnesses can spot them in these two. Mental illness covered a very broad range just like illnesses of every organ of the human body and these two indivuals present symptoms of one type of mental illness. <modsnip>
"These common traits of serial killers have been linked to certain antisocial personality disorders, including sociopathy. In addition, sociopaths tend to be nervous and easily agitated or angered. They are volatile and prone to emotional outbursts, including fits of rage."
