Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Sohom Das debunks five myths about murderers, including the misconception that all murderers have serious mental illnesses. He explains that most murderers do not have recognized mental disorders, and even if they exhibit symptoms of mental illness, it may not be severe enough to control their actions. Dr. Das also addresses the myths that most people are killed by strangers, that murderers will kill again, that serial killers are brilliant criminal masterminds, and that all killers are inherently evil or monsters. He emphasizes the diversity of backgrounds, motivations, and mental states among individuals who have committed murder, highlighting the complexity of their circumstances and the need to avoid simplistic and harmful portrayals.
