This made me wonder if he ever came across and TMS/mind-body related information. If he did, it obviously didn't stick.

 

I saw an interview with his friend who hinted at the possibility he had an idea about the mind body connection but was pretty much convinced that if he just worked out more and harder he’d conquer it.

Trying to cure a mind-body condition by training harder is another example of using physical means to resolve an essentially psychological problem, like visiting a PT, a Chiropractor, or a Acupuncturist. Sure, you might feel better after you've burned off a lot of mental stress during a hard workout (of stretched back into proper alignment or needled in your 'trigger points'), but the underlying psychological conflict is never addressed or resolved. Lots of overachieving, over-trained athletes resort to this same methodology throughout their lives and careers. But obviously Luigi Mangione never wanted to confront the huge elephant lurking in his unconscious closet.

 

The Irony of women getting in tizzies about how he looked, but not reading that he himself thought he was 'injured' and descended into loneliness and depression....didn't think he was healthy enough to have a relationship.
= MORE rage and more pain. Really a tragedy all around.

 

These women are really f...up, mentally. Pardon my French.

 

That Dr David Hanscom took note of Luigi Mangione's case is actually cause for optimism because other luminaries in the TMS pantheon may follow his lead and add more authority to the TMS diagnosis. Luigi Mangione's case is certainly a striking example of a mind-body disorder entering the public and forensic arenas. We definitely need more such commentary.
