Do you know any specific mental disorders that are associated with violence?

I'm looking for specific disorders, plz don't just say schizophrenia.
It's for a book.
Thnx

If someone with schizophrenia has violent tendencies and is not taking their meds, they may get violent. If they didn't have violent tendencies when starting meds, they probably won't if they go off. The ones we hear about on the news are the ones who go off their meds and were violent before starting.

Any mental illness can have a tendency to violence, tho doesn't mean it will. The whole point is that it's a brain illness, the brain isn't working, and that can show itself in many different ways, with a wide range of severities.

IF you're doing research for a book, go to www.nimh.org
website for the National Institute for Mental Health.

People with schizophrenia don't really tend to be violent anyway...

People with antisocial personalities (i.e. sociopaths) can be violent.

People with a Bipolar disorder can be quite violent.

People with chronic depression,I would think, are prone to commit a violent act. Either to property,other persons or even themselves.

Yes Bi-polar people can be violent at times, but there the same as me & you but have a mental disorder they cant help..
