“…A 2-year prospective discharge study (Hodgins 1999) showed that twice as many patients with mood disorders committed crimes, most of them violent, compared with those with schizophrenia. Substance misuse and infrequent out-patient care were associated with criminality in those with mood disorders.…”

“…They are important as they were both prospective studies, which reduces the potential bias of reviewing a patient's history after a violent incident has occurred. Furthermore, although Hodgins et al (1999) acknowledged some methodological limitations of their study, the results of a naturalistic study may be important because the complexity of diagnostic decision-making remains. The MacArthur study also emphasised the importance of substance misuse, personality disorder and broader socioeconomic issues to violence in patients with mood disorders.…”

SummaryViolent behaviour in people with a psychiatric disorder causes great public concern and leads to stigma for people with mental illness. There is good evidence for a correlation between schizophrenia and increased rates of violence but any association between mood disorders and violence has been comparatively overlooked. It appears that there may be more evidence relating mood disorders and violence than many clinicians realise. This article highlights the difficulties in assessing this, summarises what is known and discusses what this means for clinical practice.

“…The diagnoses schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and bipolar affective disorder were chosen as alternatives because, despite current categorical classification, clinical practice commonly requires a subjective assessment of paramount symptoms, tending towards a dimensional framework. Schizophrenia is often considered to be associated with violence more commonly than affective disorder (Higgins, 1990), despite some recent evidence that this might not be the case (Hodgins et al, 1999;Monahan et al, 2001). However, neither ICD-10 (World Health Organization, 1992) nor DSM-IV (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) include risk of violence as a diagnostic criterion or make any statements about the relative risk of violence according to diagnosis.…”

Aims and MethodThe aim of the study was to investigate whether psychiatrists consider that patients with schizophrenia present a greater risk of violence than patients with other forms of mental illness. Two pairs of clinical vignettes were devised. In each pair, one contained a history of violence and one did not. One vignette was mailed to each of 2000 consultant psychiatrists in the UK. Respondents were asked to give a preferred diagnosis. Rates of diagnosis of bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia were compared within vignette pairs.ResultsFor each pair of vignettes, the rate of diagnosis of schizophrenia was higher (33 v. 21.5%, P=0.008 and 44.4 v. 32.1%, P=0.011), and the rate of diagnosis of bipolar disorder was lower (44.2 v. 62.6%, P<0.0005 and 34.9 v. 49.3%, P=0.004), among those who received the vignette containing a history of violence.Clinical ImplicationsA history of violence may lead to an increased likelihood of receiving a diagnosis of schizophrenia as opposed to bipolar affective disorder. This bias in diagnostic decision-making may affect the treatment received by a patient and may perpetuate and exacerbate the stigma associated with a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

“…Comme les individus atteints à la fois d'un trouble sévère et d'un trouble lié à une substance commettent davantage de crimes violents que de crimes non violents (Hodgins, Lapalme & Toupin, 1999) et comme ils présentent des difficultés cognitives, comportementales et sociales, il est possible de croire que ces derniers, entraînés par une forte motivation de se procurer de l'argent, agissent de façon encore plus impulsive que la population régulière, employant rapidement des moyens inorganisés, donc plus risqués. D'autant plus que certains auteurs observent que les schizophrènes dépendants à la cocaïne ressentent des états de besoin plus intenses que la population régulière (Carol, 2000 ;Carol, Smelson, Losonczy & Ziedonis, 2001 ;, ce qui, on présume, les motiverait probablement davantage à passer à l'acte.…”
