"Research has shown that the largest percentage of violence is from people who are not dealing with mental health issues,” [Medical Director] Jeffries said. “It’s certainly a misconception in the community that the two are linked. That contributes to the stigma that people faced with mental health issues have to deal with.”

Lying to yourself and the public won't help you care for the mentally ill, Dr. Jeffries.

While most violence is committed by sane people, that is because most people are same. A psychotic person is more likely to commit violence than someone who is not psychotic.

When somebody who is psychopathic resorts to villence, it is almost always off the charts with a tendency to obliterate the target.
