  1. Violence and itsCo-morbidities

  2. introduction • Aggression and violence: complex behaviors which occur both inside and outside the realm of psychiatry • More Prevalence in mental Illnesses. • Most frequent reason for treatment in specialty mental health services. • Most prevalent chief complaints for youth seen inpatient, outpatient, and residential treatment services (1,2,3,4,5).

  3. Aggression and Psychiatry Among preadolescents, aggressive dyscontrol may be the most frequent reason for treatment in specialty mental health services. By adolescence, rising prevalence of mood disorders and self-injurious behavior, particularly among females, eclipses aggressive behavior as a chief complaint

  4. Aggression and Psychiatry Co-Morbid Aggression is frequently associated with following: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Psychosis. Mood disorders, Conduct disorder (CD), Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)(6, 7,8). Autism (AUT) and pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) chronic aggression: Poor Prognosis..

  5. Psychiatric Differential diagnosis The American DSM-IV diagnostic system is multiaxial; each of 5 domains may contribute to aggressive or Voilent behavior. In consideration of limited time of this presentation, we will try to present the current view on some of these more common co-morbidities.

  6. Schizophrenia /psychosis Prevalence of violent behavior in Schizophrenia. • Similar to that for those with major depressive and bipolar disorder • 5 times higher than individuals with no Axis 1 diagnosis Sign and Symptoms associated with Voilence include: Delusion,Paranoia,Command hallucinations associated with violent content, disorganized thoughts and behaviors • Prolonged hospital stay and Poorer Outcome.

  7. Schizophrenia /psychosis • Anti-psychotics as Anti-aggression medication. • 1st generation Vs 2nd Generation. • Efficacy Among 2nd Generation: Clozapine > Olanzapine > Haloperidol. (10, 11). • This anti-aggressive effect appears to be separate from the antipsychotic and sedative action of these medications.

  8. Schizophrenia /psychosis Most frequently reported side effects: • Cardiovascular effects, • Weight gain, • Sedation, • Extra-pyramidal signs, • Hyperprolactinemia, The relative frequencies of these untoward effects vary among medications (41). • Important consideration for clinicians.(12).

  9. Affective Illnesses: • Evidence from several sources implicates affect disturbances in aggression. • Across the spectrum affective illnesses often displays irritability, anger outbursts, omnipotence and paranoia leading to impulsive aggression. • The correlation between negative affective features (irritability, lability, anger, dysphoria, frustrability) and disruptive behavior is well established (13,14). • The correlation between emotional instability and aggression in particular is extremely high among youth (15). Rageful episodes are common among adults with major mood disorders (16.17).

  10. Affective Illnesses • Mood stabilizers have long been considered as a mainstay for treatment of aggression in affective disorders. • Role of Divalproex .(17,18,19). • Lamotrigine : Under investigation (24). • Role of atypical antipsychotic (Risperidal (23) and Quetiapine (21,22).

  11. Alcohol and Substance Abuse • Alcohol and Substances leading to agitation, violence in many ways. • Acute Withdrawl and intoxication. • Chronic use causing dementia and subsequent disinhibition. • Behaviors to obtain these drugs often times may increase the risk for violence.

  12. Alcohol and Substance Abuse • Alcohol and drug use disorders: The most significant contributors to the public health burden of violent behavior (25). • Role in intimate partner voilence.(26). • Methamphetamine use and nature of Injury: an interesting study (27).

  13. Alcohol and Substance Abuse • Anticonvulsant agents as a promising treatment of the acute withdrawal as well as protracted abstinence. • Impulsivity, hostility and irritability are common characteristics of alcohol-dependent individuals. • Role of Divalproex sodium: in course of withdrawal state (28), as well as irritability , lability and verbal assault.(29).

  14. ADHD • Major culprits: The impulsivity , inattentiveness, and the behavioral problems. • Severe aggressive outburst are seen in some ADHD children, particularly with co-morbid conduct disorder. • Aggression in patients with ADHD may be a target for treatment regardless of a specific diagnosis.

  15. Treatments Stimulants:a novel treatment option in ADHD (30). • Role of Methylphenidate (31,32,33). Clonidine: • Role of Clonidine: Debatable. • Studies in favor (34, 35) VS arguments (36). Anti-psychotics: • An adjunctive treatment to stimulant therapy ( 37). • Risperidone (38,39,40): a long time favorite.

  16. Anti-psychotics continued Most frequently reported side effects: • Cardiovascular effects, • Weight gain, • Sedation, • Extra-pyramidal signs, • Hyperprolactinemia, The relative frequencies of these untoward effects vary among medications (41). • Important consideration for clinicians.(12).

  17. Personality disorders • Personality Disorders: Axis II on DSM-IV • Frequently association with violent behaviors and criminal records. • Antisocial and borderline: Major players (42). • Treatment Options include Antidepressants, mood stabilizers such as Divalproex, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, or more recently omega-3 fatty acids (43,45). • Differences were found in the effectiveness of medications based on the presence or absence of depression and significant anger symptoms.(44)

  18. PTSD • Extensively studied in Vietnam War veterans and applied to survivors of natural disasters, victims of violent crimes, and other populations. • More recent application to exposure to childhood physical and sexual abuse. • Findings from the National Comorbidity Survey estimate the lifetime prevalence of PTSD in the general population as 7.8% (47). • A complex syndrome arising out of extreme stress. • Affective dis-regulation found in PTSD often manifests as hostility and aggression (46,48)

  19. PTSD Salter, Richardson & Kairys (1985) asserts that abused children display behavioural problems because they understand the world as being unpredictable and painful and that the adults who care for them are angry, impatient, depressed, and distant. This perception of the world tends to transformed these children into hostile, violent and unpredictable persons (46)
