Not a Mental Health Question?

Question

Today, when I was walking to McDonalds for lunch, I noticed some pigeons on the sidewalk. I wanted to kick the shit out of one of them. I like to think of myself as a normal, productive citizen, but I often have random semi-violent thoughts. Is this is a sign of something that may become serious? (This is a genuine question/concern.)

Answer

Good Evening,

People can have various thoughts (sometimes people have a wish to do something that is not the norm like yell in a church at the top of their lungs or yell fire in a movie theatre.)
The only concern you should have is if you actually act out on these thoughts or if you somehow belive that the thoughts are not your own but implanted (this occurs in some disorders but the disorder and its symptoms should have manifested earlier in adulthood).
