Many participants had issues such as homelessness, untreated mental health disorders, substance use, relationship crises, disengagement from health services and conflicts with government institutions.

Society is unwilling to help these men in desperate need of help until it is proven that it will help women first

The article: “it appears that domestic violence has roots in the mental health of men, as this antidepressant appears to reduce incidents of DV in some cases. A more comprehensive mental health care system would improve these results.”

The Chuds in the comments who didn’t read the article: “SO NOW THEY WANT TO DRUG ALL MEN TO PROTECT WOMEN! WHAT ABOUT A MORE COMPREHENSIVE MENTAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM!? MEN ARE THE VICTIMS IN THIS SCENARIO!”

That's excellent news. The random tiktok videos inserted into the article are still making me lose my cool, though.

That’s cool, I never really deeply considered how important impulse control is in emotional regulation.

If they put fluoride in drinking water, they can put this in protein shakes and those shower gels that come in the angular gunmetal-coloured containers

I'm not going to pretend this is an emotionally easy or comfortable approach. There's a desire to protect the victims and write off the perpetrators on one hand and on the other, there's the men who feel attacked by the idea that abusive and violent men are having mental health issues. But I believe in evidence based solutions. If this works, and it doesn't violate fundamental rights (which it doesn't), then it's a path I want pursued.

And it makes a lot of sense to me. Every abuser I've had has had mental health issues. My father couldn't fully control big emotions in the moment, and so when he didn't have the capacity to step away, such as a car ride or a hotel room, he scared the shit out of us.

I would love a pilot program that forces domestic abusers into mental health treatment similar to addicts are sometimes put into sobriety programs.

And impotence I'm sure. So, a two-fer

Study: "Treating depressed men who commit domestic violence can reduce the amount of domestic violence that occurs."

Internet scum: "WHAT ABOUT THE MEN?!?!? THOSE FEMINAZIS ARE TRYING TO DRUG US!!!!"
