Abstract
INDIVIDUALS with mental disorders, including substance dependence, are at risk of committing violence.1-7 Scientists and professionals do not welcome this finding because it stigmatizes these individuals. However, research that provides sound explanations for the link may help to reduce ignorance that fuels public fears and to inform strategies for preventing or limiting violence among the mentally ill.Keywords
