It is asked, is gun violence getting worse? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2022\/02\/03\/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pew research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows that even though overall gun violence overall increased by 14% in 2020 from 2019, the actual rate of gun violence in relation to population growth has remained the same. Furthermore, only 3% of suicides and homicides are caused by assault-style weapons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/NEJMc2201761\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paper in NEJM<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in May 2022 notes that as motor vehicle accidents have dramatically been reduced over the last few years as major causes of death in children and adolescents, firearm-related injury has increased and is now the number one cause of death in children and adolescents. Likewise, drug overdoses and poisonings in children and adolescents have exhibited a sharp increase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gun deaths in the U.S are at a higher incidence when compared to Western Europe and Canada but it is noted that gun deaths in South America are at higher levels than in the U.S. When looking at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2022\/02\/03\/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">firearm mortality<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in each state, it was found that Alaska has one of the highest rates and Hawaii one of the lowest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Mass shootings<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reflecting on the past 20 years, it is noted that active shooter incidents have become more common.\u00a0 Jillian Peterson and James Densley are experts and a part of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theviolenceproject.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Violence Project<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which addresses the prevalence and prevention of gun violence and also evaluates mass shootings. This project has reviewed all mass shooters since 1966 and reviewed every shooting incident that has taken place in a school, place of worship, or workplace since 1999. This involved about 180 different incidents and included interviews with five shooters that had remained alive from these incidents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Mental health<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common threads they found involving the shooters were early childhood trauma that led to feelings of hopelessness, despair, isolation, self-loathing, rejection, and then turned to suicidal ideation. However, these individuals then turned the hatred from self-hate to hate of other groups that involved racial, gender, religious, and classmates. They theorize that these mass shooters are individuals that are in effect planning their suicide as they also commit homicides.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/prcp.psychiatryonline.org\/doi\/full\/10.1176\/appi.prcp.20190015\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psychiatry Online<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an article notes that there has been an increase in depression, self-harm, and suicide after 2010 and it may be related to the amount of time a person spends on social media and smartphone use. There appears to be a correlation between the release of the iPhone and the increase in social media use around this time. However, it is noted that correlation does not necessarily mean causation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Light and mental health<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Seheult\u2019s references a prior MedCram video <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5YV_iKnzDRg\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light as Medicine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and discusses that exposing oneself to light and sunshine may reduce depression.\u00a0 Likewise, exposure to light at night from computers and phones may reduce melatonin, and total sleep time and affect the circadian rhythm which can affect mood and overall health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Medical Response<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He then turns to medical personnel and handling of mass casualties. From a medical standpoint, dealing with mass shooting episodes will be chaotic just by the very nature of the incidence.\u00a0 Time is of the essence just as in a heart attack or stroke. The likelihood of death increases as time goes by.\u00a0 For medical personnel, it is helpful and important to know the type of weapon and ammunition used in the shooting in order to anticipate the nature and extent of injuries that may be expected.\u00a0 An <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bulletin.facs.org\/2013\/06\/management-of-mass-casualty\/#TEMS_teams\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">article<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2013 discusses the initial management of mass casualties. They advocate for Tactical Emergency Medical Support (TEMS) teams which are specifically trained and equipped to work within the perimeter of a danger zone and work in conjunction with law enforcement. Unfortunately, there are still too few of these teams around the nation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Seheult notes that gun violence is a mental health issue and that early recognition of warning signs and intervention is needed to save lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LINKS \/ REFERENCES:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initial management of mass-casualty incidents due to firearms: Improving survival (ACS) |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa0ktaEJRTW0yeHZDOFhvZUw4akd5U0FMYmstZ3xBQ3Jtc0tsOVlrc3Vwa0lTbHJMM3F3ZnRwZFhyMjdCM1BiZE9TVXhWeVkzSUN5eFoyaktCeGx1aVQyVHRVRkgxYlZlellwa3pocHdUQkpXbFphR1VMWEVqUW9TN1hCckVDNWF4YlVfQUpqUVYteU0zUU5SVWdBbw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fbulletin.facs.org%2F2013%2F06%2Fmanagement-of-mass-casualty%2F%23TEMS_teams&amp;v=sO5W9vk55w4\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/bulletin.facs.org\/2013\/06\/man&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firearm Mortality by State (CDC) |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVBzSjM2X1VuMFpzeHVmd3JlQU1rd2xJSUcwUXxBQ3Jtc0tuMkNLVkdLUjZXVzgxeEtkTE5jcEFzbE1PZXI4bjdHMkRmWlA1dTlCRndnenVwWmxKSTY3ZzFZaW1tN0lwYVItN1ZwZVhYY25vdEtVQzRBaGRJd1k3NC1DQmVTMTZxODhfUXR3enRDeWwyYUJEMzRnOA&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fnchs%2Fpressroom%2Fsosmap%2Ffirearm_mortality%2Ffirearm.htm&amp;v=sO5W9vk55w4\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/pressroom\/so&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What the data says about gun deaths in the U.S. (Pew) |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa0V6OTFIdkhwTnpEWEpIc3Y3dVp6LU1MeTc2UXxBQ3Jtc0tsZEt1T0hFYm1idVk4TFZnX3dXVGpTeWNsMkxROEtQbFVZUzc3cFA0eWVJcmN3N0FkUk1VQTh2aG1pQURwU0lQZTBVMzZLSlg1OWlHTVN0QTNQLXJyNDEzRDl4UU9uZF84LTM5NHU0NDV5Z1k5OGIzVQ&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pewresearch.org%2Ffact-tank%2F2022%2F02%2F03%2Fwhat-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s%2F&amp;v=sO5W9vk55w4\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key facts about Americans and guns (Pew) |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbFhFY2dUVDcyWXk5RlVvaGFlcGZVR0dWRFZJd3xBQ3Jtc0ttV1owdXRHaUg0NWUxaDgyTEllSndyc2x1aW02dUpyOXM5U2pRUGt3UmY4LVF0Y0diME1jaVhSOE12TDBnQzd6cExQTEhIcWdkS0YxUUtLNmZHTkJSRnhpc3M3U0pNVFhfOG8tdVZCOHV3ZTVvMi1TUQ&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pewresearch.org%2Ffact-tank%2F2021%2F09%2F13%2Fkey-facts-about-americans-and-guns%2F&amp;v=sO5W9vk55w4\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GUN VIOLENCE BY THE NUMBERS (Brady) |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbUExcExWa1F3bjhwWmFNQjljUXM5cG1mOXlZd3xBQ3Jtc0trTnZyN2tTMlhpWncyeTRJRktPdy1rdXpGa254NG5CaGlGNnpCSlgtY0F2eTM3UDNkaF91bmZEVW00Tk9jYVFCYkFSeVAzMENfM3d0ZWw2MTRnU25xZkFad0lYbkhhY2tnYklyQ0ZVVjlGVkhBN2toWQ&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bradyunited.org%2Fkey-statistics&amp;v=sO5W9vk55w4\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.bradyunited.org\/key-stati&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gun laws where guns take the most lives (Latin America Reports) |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqazhiNlM2STBYV1Z2WWpwM1VXaTBEanJZUWZnZ3xBQ3Jtc0tteDZvV0NTR2xDNTZDbUtoTjYzUjl5ZmVGdS1rZXVZRE1hMFNMVnlNZzR5YUVWQlFjX1A4RE5BMjhMMENzQlc1aGRyTnp6bHRBM0ZMZlFadUdDV2o5NFZFazZPaDBxSmMxeDYzNF9fUEtZaDVfeVdocw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Flatinamericareports.com%2Fgun-laws-where-guns-take-the-most-lives%2F1232%2F&amp;v=sO5W9vk55w4\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/latinamericareports.com\/gun-l&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two Professors Found What Creates a Mass Shooter.
