There is no treatment for killing disease ‘amok syndrome’ DECEMBER 09, 2019

Evaluating the words of the murderer Özgür Arduç, who stabbed Ballerina Ceren Özdemir to death with a knife and said that he did not know her at all and wanted to target and kill women and children he deemed weak as prey, Psychiatrist Psychotherapist Onur Okan Demirci described the murderer’s psychology as amok syndrome. Demirci said: “Some of the people who have suffered from Amok take the act of killing people with unjustified anger or aggressive attitude and do not express any regret by performing it in cold blood.”

Psychiatrist Psychotherapist Onur Okan Demirci from Istanbul Gelisim University evaluated the disease of Özgür Arduç, the killer of Ceren Özdemir. Demirci talked about the amok syndrome known as ‘killing disease’ as follows:

“In the recent murder, in which a young woman was brutally murdered, the killer’s cold-blooded, emotionless expressions drew attention. This shows that the killings were not only committed for revenge, animosity, jealousy. In the world of psychiatry, there is a condition called ‘Amok Syndrome or disorder’. In some sources, it is also called ‘running amok’ or ‘amok’. The word Amok comes from the Malay word ‘mengamok’, which means very angry and helpless attack.”
