Co-Morbidity in Patients with Violence Episodes an Effort to Correlate Its Association and Prevention
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Psychiatrists experience risks of violence in clinical settings or emergencies. Relationship between presentations at referral and diagnosis is seen where aggression was reported in various situations such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) with Borderline IQ and OCD symptoms with obesity and violent episodes; peri-ictal (post cluster attack) aggression in a patient with past history of alcohol abuse; Cannabis dependence with acute psychosis and violence with past history of conduct disorder; Tubercular meningitis (TBM) with history of multi substance abuse and disruptive behavior. Co-morbidity of above situations with violence makes it a challenging situation for doctors, nursing staff, and relatives. Guidance for handling such emergency situations and minimizing episodes of aggression is further required.
