As mass shootings continue to horrify our communities, we seek explanations. Politicians seem to believe that mental health experts have the solution. Do we? Gun violence is 20-25 times higher in the United States than in other higher income countries. What accounts for that difference? Spokesperson for Psychiatrists 4 Gun Violence Prevention and adult inpatient psychiatrist, Dr. Rebecca Capasso, joins us to provide answers and to discuss the work her group is doing.

Hosts: Eyrn, Toshia

Guests: Rebecca Capasso, MD, Imaan Alaidroos, MD
