“…Dissociative disorders are associated with subcortical white matter alterations within the higher limbic system [ 63 , 64 ]. Conduct disorders may progress to antisocial personality disorders during adolescence/early adulthood [ 65 ]. Social anxiety, dissociative disorders, or personality disorder can be linked to disturbances of higher-order brain circuits and typically arise concomitantly to the formation of the respective neural networks during childhood and adolescence.…”

Intellectual disability is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a related co-occurrence of mental health issues and challenging behaviors. In addition to purely cognitive functions, socio-emotional competencies may also be affected. In this paper, the lens of developmental social neuroscience is used to better understand the origins of mental disorders and challenging behaviors in people with an intellectual disability. The current concept of intelligence is broadened by socio-emotional brain functions. The emergence of these socio-emotional brain functions is linked to the formation of the respective neuronal networks located within the different parts of the limbic system. Thus, high order networks build on circuits that process more basic information. The socio-emotional skills can be assessed and complement the results of a standardized IQ-test. Disturbances of the brain cytoarchitecture and function that occur at a certain developmental period may increase the susceptibility to certain mental disorders. Insights into the current mental and socio-emotional functioning of a person may support clinicians in the calibration of treatment and support. Acknowledging the trajectories of the socio-emotional brain development may result in a more comprehensive understanding of behaviors and mental health in people with developmental delays and thus underpin supports for promotion of good mental health in this highly vulnerable population.

“…It is often comorbid with conduct disorder and antisocial personality disorder ( Johanson et al, 2020 ). Psychopathy is strongly associated with violence and criminal recidivism ( Junewicz and Billick 2020 ) and is overrepresented in prisoner populations ( Johanson et al, 2020 ). Several biological findings support the theories that conduct disorder in childhood and youth represent a neurodevelopmental precursor to antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy ( Junewicz and Billick, 2020 , Raine, 2018 ).…”

Several biological findings support the theories that conduct disorder in childhood and youth represent a neurodevelopmental precursor to antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy ( Junewicz and Billick, 2020 , Raine, 2018 ). Neuroimaging studies in psychopathy research have reported heterogenous results, but a recent systematic review exhibited decreased grey matter volumes in frontotemporal, limbic, paralimbic, and cerebellar structures as the most evident neuroanatomical findings ( Johanson et al, 2020 ).…”

This means that additional, specific traits must be defined to determine whether domestic violence is the root of other expressions of violence.…”

For years now, the importance of animal cruelty has been gaining recognition in the industrialized cities of the West. Animal cruelty encompasses any act that causes a non-human animal unnecessary pain or suffering, including negligence, abandonment, abuse, torture, bestiality, and even theriocide. This represents a red flag for society as a whole because people who commit such acts can escalate violence and direct it to other individuals. Animal cruelty and interpersonal violence—as well as other socially undesirable conduct such as bullying, antisocial personality disorder, rape, and serial murder—are closely related, so timely diagnoses of either one can help prevent acts of aggression. It is necessary, therefore, to analyze and try to understand whether there are early indicators that may help identify potentially violent individuals. It is well known that kids from homes with actual violence in their homes show a high tendency to reproduce such behaviors with both animals and other people. In conclusion, much research and rethinking of the importance of the veterinarian in detecting animal abuse and cruelty is needed to help detect and prevent cases of interpersonal violence that may arise over time.
