Predictors of Homicidal Ideation and Intent in Schizophrenia: An Empirical Study

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPSYCHIATRY, Issue 3 2001
Robert C. Schwartz Ph.D.
Correlations of age, gender, and psychosocial variables with ratings of current homicidal ideation and intent were investigated among psychiatric facility clients with schizophrenia. Multiple regression analyses revealed, irrespective of age or gender, significantly positive correlations of three psychosocial variables , manic symptoms, psychotic symptoms, and impaired global functioning , with homicidal ideation and intent. Implications for research are discussed. [source]

Homicidal ideation with intent during a manic episode triggered by antidepressant medication in a man with brain injury

BIPOLAR DISORDERS, Issue 1 2008
Marie-José Dealberto
Background:, Mood disorders are more frequent after brain injury and both depressive and manic episodes are associated in these patients with an increased risk of aggression. Antidepressant medications are associated with a risk of manic induction. Case report:, We describe a case of homicidal ideation with intent during the onset of a manic episode in a patient with prior brain injury on antidepressant medication at low dosage. The manic episode could have been secondary to brain injury and/or triggered by antidepressant medications. This case raises the possibility of the sensitizing role of brain injury for antidepressant-induced mania. Conclusions:, Further studies are needed to assess the role of brain injury as a risk factor for antidepressant-induced mania. Physicians should be cautious when prescribing antidepressants to patients with prior brain injury and inform them and their relatives of the possibility of a switch into mania. [source]
