Every socio-economic organization has a related set of mental illnesses whose existence cannot be prevented, merely treated. EVERY mental illness is a Culture-Bound Syndrome. As we abandon the nuclear family for something new & dangerous, the truth is we've seen nothing yet.

It is very possible that school shooters & incels represent the first form of this new set of mental illnesses we're about to experience. They might suffer from something we don't even have the methodology for. Psychanalysis ONLY works with a bourgeois socio-economic context.
