[quote=Anonymous]There is some great information about studies of mental illness and violent behavior here: https://www.treatmentadvocacycenter.org/evidence-and-research/learn-more-about/3633-risk-factors-for-violence-in-serious-mental-illness This is also an organization that is working on reform of the civil commitment laws to enable better interventions before unstable mentally ill patients engage in violence in the community. The short answer is that while the vast majority of persons suffering from mental illness are not violent, a very substantial percentage are - and the critical factors are being UNSTABLE (i.e., untreated) and having a co-occuring substance abuse diagnosis, which is incredibly common among untreated mentally ill persons.
