Well I think different types of depression causes different reactions.Or the personality of someone or how hey would handle depression.Not all people under depression would be the same. Well depression can cause people o react the way they do. Although depression is a main factor for making people a killer it dosent nessiserly mean that is the reason why they would bbe a killer...

Well, a depression defense would probably not hold up in a court of law as 'insanity'. Certainly, depression is a powerful mental disease, but the main symptoms include feelings of powerlessness and near-total apathy. These two symptoms don't mesh with the general profile of serial killers. Serial killers tend to be unable to feel empathy, but are not unfeeling. They also are generally plagued by delusions of grandeur, not powerlessness.
However, depression could contribute to the killing of one person or several people if they are linked to the cause of the depression. Murderer profiles are quite different from serial killers. When people are emotionally disturbed, such as during depression, they can do crazy things they would not normally do.

Well yes and no. Yes depresson can lead to thoughts of murderous acts of violence but it has also been tested that many really infamous serial killers lead a very healthy life they were just, well, I will say mentally challenged. Some love the thrill of the chase capture and control of the situation. There are so many sides to the mind of a serial killer, saying that, some are even geniuses but what we need to understand is why and thats is where the problem lies. Many people are depressed but they dont go off killing people! They may want too,(hahahaha) but common sense tells them not too. What psychologist would like to discover is what makes the people who do becaome serial killers snap, and go off on a killing spree. I hope that helps

Everybody experiences depression. You hold the key to all the choices you make in this world, good and bad. If you choose to let depression overwhelm you like a dark blanket it will. If you fight to be happy, you will achieve it. It's mind over matter.
A serial killer is usually a sociopath which means he has no compassion at all for others and therefore feels no empathy for other human beings whatsoever. There is something psychologically wrong with that person. Everyone can be pushed to the "brink" but most people are sane and pull back short of crossing those kinds of lines. Why would someone kill another human being? There is no justification, unless it was in self defense. Serial killers deserve no forgiveness for taking lives of innocent people and ruining lives forever. If they want to take their own lives that is one thing....but no one should take the life of another.

Some forms of depression are often accompanied by "suicidal or homocidal ideations", meaning the desire to kill oneself or others. Serial Killers are generally not depressives. Depressives tend to be spontaneous not methodical in this reguard. Serial killers usually tend toward more psychopathic and sociopathic mindsets. It is possible to be depressive as well, but it's unlikely to be the cause. I'm a Major Depressive. So far I haven't went on any killing sprees... So far. :P

Was that at present? If so, name anybody you believe: a dad or mum, grownup you favor, anybody at institution, your medical professional, therapist, anybody from church, or the suicide hotline...even nine-one million-one million! If you're critically suicidal, get support correct now! If now not, nonetheless inform your father and mother or yet another worrying grownup. You do not have to believe this fashion. You can get support by means of speak cure or by means of medicines.

no depression can only cause for you to commit suicide but not to kill and is true most killers that were aabused by their parents or that their parents didn' give them good behaviors can become killers.
