As for mental disorders I have to say that I have about as much confidence in Psychiatrists as I have in a first grader keeping ducks in a row.
If you go back and look at many of the recent mass shootings, the person who committed the crime was taking or had just quit taking some type of psychotic drug.  Now I cannot tell you that the person was "mentally ill" before beginning the drug/s or not.  Perhaps what needs to be done is the following:
1.  Any person and their families must be notified that the drug the person is about to take has been shown to have side effects that could likely result in suicide or homicidal acts.
2.  The person will be required to give up any potentially deadly weapons until such time as they are no longer on the drug and are considered to be outside of any side effects of the drug.
3.  Anyone related to the person shall be required to secure any potentially deadly weapons so as to prevent the person from gaining access to those weapons.
4.  As early as high school teach children how to recognize behaviours that should be red flags and reported to the police or mental health officials.
