Why should it be; most anti-social behaviour around us is by gangs of teenage youths - they can't all have mental issues. Mostly I think it is boredom and peer pressureso you don't believe anti-social behavior is a mental health issue?

I didn't say they haven't; I just said that Anti-social behavior does not equal mental health issues as a giventhey can't all have mental health issues? why not?
peer pressure is an excuse for anti-social behavior?
so you don't believe anti-social behavior is a mental health issue?
Define "mentally ill".Are most inmates who have committed some sort of anti-social behavior, mentally ill?
I didn't say they haven't; I just said that Anti-social behavior does not equal mental health issues as a given
Of course it can be, but the prison environment certainly exacerbates it. And not all anti-social is due to mental health but ones lived experience. Let me give an example; a couple of months ago we had a prison riot that sent several correction officers to the hospital, some with serious injuries. One officer said something to an inmate as they were walking along and the inmate jumped him and was joined by a number of others which called in more officers. Following came the usual restrictions on the inmates with loss of privileges. There is a constant conflict between punishment and rehabilitation. Not everyone who chooses to break the law can plead mental illness.
Define "mentally ill".
Do you consider egotism as "mentally ill"?
Do you consider protesters as "mentally ill"?
"some sort of anti-social behavior" seems problematic as well.
Simplicity in itself.
Why do you jump to these crazy conclusions?so you believe anti-social behavior is healthy?
I do not in any way speak for anyone other than myself.so you don't believe anti-social behavior is a mental health issue?
i'm asking if the people who end up in prison are there because of their unhealthy thinking, or mental illness. in other words, do they not have an unhealthy way of correcting their problems?Simplicity in itself.
Yes, inmates with mental disorders have mental disorders.
i don't. that is why I ask a question and don't make a statement.Why do you jump to these crazy conclusions?
they obviously act from thought. what then do you suggest? no counseling from parent, or professional?Mental disorder is a disease of the mind; teenagers who are anti-social do not have mental disorders
Some of them, sure.i'm asking if the people who end up in prison are there because of their unhealthy thinking, or mental illness. in other words, do they not have an unhealthy way of correcting their problems?
As I said previously, it is peer pressure, maybe showing off, rebellious. gang culture - teenage angstthey obviously act from thought. what then do you suggest? no counseling from parent, or professional?
