According to WHO, there are 450 million people who are classed as "Mentally disturbed", so does this mean that all these people will eventually go out and terrorise the world? People go out with their own agendas I'm afraid.
Not all mentally ill/disturbed are mass shooters, not by a long shot (no pun intended). Mass shooters (not necessarily associated with terror) have a higher rate of having mental illness prior to the shooting. See the attached site. Click on the full google spreadsheet view and then read/count the no vs unclear vs yes in column J (prior signs of mental illness). Even the "unclear" have indications of mental illness.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
