[quote=Anonymous]People with mental illness are actually less likely to be violent than people without mental illness. people with mental illness are more likely to direct their aggression towards family members, often when family members intervene in moments of crisis. Crimes that involve mental illness make the news because they are often erratic, irrational, and unpredictable however these events are very rare compared to all the violence taking place around you. People with bipolar affective disorder can have times when they are completely normal and rational in their thinking, and then they may cycle into depression or into hypomania or mania. People with depression or hypomania may act differently but they are not likely to be aggressive or violent. Sometimes people in full blown manic episodes can act aggressive based on delusions or complete paranoia and irrationality, however mania is very easy to see. You can tell if someone is manic.
