Why are some people crazy?!
Why do some people develop into schizophrenics / psychotic killers or insane harrassers ?
I think that crazy people are just crazy because they cannot handle the way that the real world works and have to stray from normality because they are so upset about it, aside from the mentally ill who's distorted mind makes choices for them.
Some people turn into killers because they think that life isn't fair. Everybody goes through hardships but the killers are the people who can't find any other way to deal with it.
Schizophrenics on the other hand I believe get it genetically. I think that schitzophrenia is inherited and classified as a mental disorder but I am writing this section before I have researched so I may be wrong.
Killers probably think that what they are doing is the only way to solve their problems. They hate something so much that they want to destroy it or end that persons life.
Some crazy harrassers may not be able comprehend the socially correct way to interact with others. They may obsessively talk to and try to contact people that have made it clear that they want to be left alone. These are the scariest type of crazy people in my opinion because they can never take no for an answer and will stop at nothing to get what they want.
Upon further research I have found that schizophrenia is not directly inheritable but can be more susceptable to development depending on having family history containing it.
So i do not think lowly of people with the illness of schizophrenia, but that still leaves non-schitzophrenics who have no excuse for how extreme they act. Common symptoms of schizophrenia are auditory hallucinations, paranoia, bizarre delusions, and unorganized speech and thinking.
People with psychosis similarly may experience hallucinations and delusions which can greatly impair their choice making.
These falsivites in the minds of schizophrenics and psychotics can lead to morally wrong actions such as harrassment, assault, murder, self harm or even suicide

Dear Nick
I am interested by your discussion on “Why are some people crazy?!” because the title really caught my attention, also because when I seened the word “Crazy” I wondered what exactly you mean by when you said crazy. One sentence that stood out to me the most would have been when you said “ I think that crazy people are just crazy because they cannot handle the way that the real world works and have to stray from normality because they are so upset about it, aside from the mentally ill who’s who’s distorted mind makes choices for them.” I think this is amusing because to know that people’s mind make their choices for them if they mentally ill its cool to what what they might do.
Well it isn’t “ cool “ but its strange to know that they don’t think before they make their decision, they just do whatever comes to mind first. Another quote that caught me by attention was “ Killers probably think that what they are doing is the only way to solve their problems. They hate something so much that they want to destroy it or end that person’s life.” This was interesting to find out because it’s true. Killers think by the only way to find a solution to their problems is by taking someone’s life away. Once again they are people that quickly react before thinking. Thanks for your writing. I look forward to see what you write next, because I really enjoyed this discussion and I learned some new thing about why people act the way they act.
