Mental Health and Violence

My entire movie is based on the ideas of video game (and therefore media) violence versus mental health in individuals. 

The user of the video game in the movie is a clearly distressed and mentally deranged boy who has gotten too far into the game. Within the article we can find different explanations and analyzations of the possible correlations between mental health and crime and gun violence among American individuals.

These are the three main point that the article makes:

• " A large majority of people with mental disorders will never engage in violence against others.
• Most violent behavior is due to factors other than mental illness.
• Psychiatric disorders such as depression are strongly implicated in suicide, which accounts for more than half of gun fatalities annually."

In my opinion, due to the correlations between gun violent crimes and mental health, I believe that both the media and the gun laws should step up their awareness. Gun laws should be tighter and strict enough so that they don't fall into the wrong hands, and the media should tone down violence a little bit more because they never know which people in the audience may recreate the violence they simulated.
