No, it's safe to say that the majority of criminals have no serious conditions. Being impulsive, selfish, and lacking self-control are flaws, not diseases.

@mariannezap Actually, those very things can lead us to a diagnosis of a mental condition.

@Graylight In certain cases, but by themselves they are merely personality flaws.

Not at all. But when assessing, they have to be considered.

Fact is, most people in the US are in prison for bad judgment and stupid mistakes. @mariannezap

@Graylight No argument there. Bad judgment is the cause of most problems in life, criminal or not.
