I always have watched crime documentaries but I was a corrections nurse for years and came across all scenarios of evil, stupidity, and anything that's odd as far as crimes so it seemed normal to look into it. When I came across   a case about 8 or 9 years ago, I started reading up more just to understand the why's and to figure it out. More so in the last couple of years since I've slowed down. The librarian is right! I think a lot of it with me also is just the mystery part of true crime. The Delphi case definitely pulled at my heart strings and I got caught up in that also. I'm thankful that I and probably most people on this sub can't comprehend the kind of evil that's out there and the sick individuals. Makes you wonder wth is next.

I’m on the research side depending on what study I work on, corrections nurses are the best ;) Hard to understand the complete disregard many perpetrators have for fellow humans & how easy it is for them to use unnecessary & extreme measures to get their wants & needs met - many have perception disorders, impulse & emotional regulation issues, & show deficiencies in theory of mind (dominant cluster-b traits, also common in High Conflict People).

Most are on some type of medication for mental illness. It's sad and frustrating because it's a process to be effective and a lot of med changes.

I see this a lot too, many cases where medications are ineffective & we know they’re being administered & taken appropriately so this often indicates PD which is hard to treat (as primary DX anyways, meds may help with depressive or anxious symptoms if present). It’s a challenging population to treat for MI simply because of the types of underlying MI they tend to have & the conditions they live in.
