"It was an urge. ... A strong urge, and the longer I let it go the stronger it got, to where I was taking risks to go out and kill people risks that normally, according to my little rules of operation, I wouldn't take because they could lead to arrest." —Edmund Kemper.

I've always been fascinated with what makes people tick. Mental illnesses has been something that I've done some independent research on and eventually want to pursue my PhD in Child Psychology since that will go with my other degrees.

I believe that serial killers are mentally disturbed with possible schizophrenia or multiple personalities. However, after I read the quote above, I wonder if maybe sometimes it is an urge that they can't control.

People are fat because they can't control their urges to eat. I don't want to delve on that topic again because it's already been discussed in another thread, but it's an example.

I had a friend who slept all day because he had the urge to sleep all the time. People that know me know that I sleep A LOT, but this guy made me look like I had insomnia.

People are alcoholics or drug addicts. because they can't control the urge to drink or do the drug.

BUT wait, those people are addicted to alcohol, nicotine, or the drug of choice. Well, that brings me to the question: Is murder addictive? I know that one would have to get a rush taking another life. The adrenaline would have to be pumping through the system after the act is finished.

I know, murder isn't something you take into your body like alcohol and the such. It's an action. Well, I've heard people say they're addicted to running or other exercise because of the rush they get. People are addicted to extreme sports or other activities because of the rush.

I'm curious as to what others think about this or know about this.
