Maniacs belong to individuals suffering from mental illness. Psychologists have no consensus on the nature of their propensity for violence. But there are factors that most often become the mechanism pushing a person to kill.

one
Psychological trauma of childhood. The socialization of personality begins with the family. If at the initial stages of formation the child finds himself in a negative environment, his development goes wrong. The inferiority complex most often develops in the child due to the fact that parents demand a lot from him. They want to raise a child prodigy, but the baby does not live up to expectations. He is constantly punished, scolded, shouted. At school, he becomes the object of ridicule, as he is afraid to answer the teacher and remains silent. All this gives rise to hatred of people in him. He finds a way to avenge offenders through violence. Later, an adult maniac just can’t stop, starting to kill everyone he doesn’t like.
2
Problems with the opposite sex. The main factor that forms the concept of sex is associated with the first experiments in this area. If they failed, it leaves an imprint on life. Many maniacs had difficulty communicating with the opposite sex, which at first led them into a state of embarrassment and indignation, and then generated rage and a desire to take revenge. If a person has been sexually abused during adolescence, perhaps in the future he will try on this model on his future partners. So, there is a likelihood that he will take pleasure in repeating the actions that once performed on him.

"R-complex." There is a theory that people become maniacs due to a different brain structure. Paleopsychologists say that the mind controls the primitive brain. In some people, the latter gets out of control and begins to direct the actions of a person. Then the individual acquires motifs of the behavior of the apes and ceases to moderate his anger, pouring it on others.

Physical injuries. Speaking about physiology, it is important to note that a person who was previously completely normal can become a maniac. He could get a brain injury, damage one of his areas responsible for the correct perception of reality. Most maniacs lack the instinct of self-preservation, fear, aversion to blood. They are like two-year-old children stuck at this stage, ready to break and break. Speaking of physical injuries, it is worth mentioning that external ugliness, even a slight one, can sometimes also indicate a person’s tendency to cruelty. He was probably teased and humiliated for his lack, as a result of which self-esteem fell, and his desire to assert himself through others increased.
5
Outstanding imagination. Maniacs are often talented and creative people. They are looking for ways to expand their consciousness, trying to get to the bottom of what is happening. Man for them is like a clock mechanism that needs to be disassembled to see what's inside. Most maniacs were excellent artists, musicians, connoisseurs of fine cuisine.
note
A maniac can be an exemplary family man and an exemplary worker. It is difficult to calculate for an ordinary person. Therefore, serial killers are so hard to find.
