Im not doubting that bullying isn’t involved (i mean its kinda a stereotype that its always the bullied quiet kids who shoot schools, but it happens) but mental illness symptoms no matter how severe don’t really cause you to plot and attempt a school shooting. I mean maybe antisocial personality disorder could cause it but i’ve never heard of such a case.

No, of course not… but they can cause things like disassociation, hallucinations, paranoia and loss of ones value in life. I’d hate to think anybody meant that mental illness inherently means you have a high chance of being a school shooter, because I bet 95%+ of people with mental illness would never wish harm on others and only their selves
