Hardly one year had passed when mass murderer Elliot Rodger carried out a massacre by killing six people and injuring 13 others. As per him, it were others who were responsible for making his life hell.
He used to hate women and blamed them for rejecting his advances. He even planned to kill his six-year-old brother thinking he would get more popular than him among women. He went into streets and carried out shooting spree killing three more people and injuring 13 with firearms.
His case led many experts to suggest that they should focus on eliminating misogyny. But there are some experts who think that it is a serious problem faced by many young people. The root cause of the problem was the impressions Rodger was carrying out since he was eight years old.
In reality, it is important to strengthen the mental health system. If the system is not strong then authorities concerned would not be able to stop another case similar to that of Elliot Rodger. In the case of Rodger, his parents were well aware of his condition.
In fact, he was taking treatment since he was in elementary school. When his condition used to get worse, his treatment level was increased. As per Rodger's writings, many mental health professionals were treating him and prescribed him anti-psychotic drugs. His father even informed the police last month about his plans to do something outrageous. His condition led experts to suggest that mental health should be discussed at the national level.
