In the wake of both shootings, Dr. Arthur Evans, CEO of the American Psychological Association, dismissed attempts to link mental health to America's gun violence epidemic.
"Blaming mental illness for the gun violence in our country is simplistic and inaccurate and goes against the scientific evidence currently available," he said in a statement."As we psychological scientists have said repeatedly, the overwhelming majority of people with mental illness are not violent. And there is no single personality profile that can reliably predict who will resort to gun violence.
"This allows the president to share his message first with the nation," HHS spokesperson Caitlin Oakley said."Any suggestions that this was a formal policy put in place related to social media, or meant to stymie work on this issue, are factually inaccurate. These were staff-level discussions seeking to be sensitive and respectful to the victims and their families affected by tragedies of that weekend.
