Q & A – Is “senseless revenge” a mental disorder?

While senseless revenge is not considered a specific mental disorder in and of itself, it may be associated with certain mental health conditions or personality disorders. For example, individuals with antisocial personality disorder may engage in senseless revenge as a way to assert power and control over others, while individuals with borderline personality disorder may engage in impulsive and vengeful behaviors in response to perceived rejection or abandonment.

That being said, it’s important to note that not all individuals who engage in senseless revenge have a diagnosed mental disorder. There may be a variety of factors that contribute to this type of behavior, including environmental factors, personal experiences, and individual personality traits.

Regardless of the underlying causes, senseless revenge is a destructive and harmful behavior that can have serious consequences for both the individual carrying out the revenge and those who are targeted. If you or someone you know is struggling with vengeful or aggressive thoughts or behaviors, it’s important to seek professional help and support.
