Violence risk<unk>  is noted to be an important risk factor when trying to identify a person's risk for violence. This type of assessment is routine for psychiatric patients or any other patients presenting to hospital with mental health complaints. There are many associated risk factors which include:<unk> story of violence and any thoughts of committing harm, poor impulse control and an inability to delay gratification, impairment or loss of reality testing, especially with delusional beliefs or command hallucinations, the feeling of being controlled by an outside force, the belief that other people wish to harm them, the perception of rejection or humiliation at the hands of others, being under the influence of substances or a<unk> story of antisocial personality disorder, frontal lobe dysfunction or head injury. Associated psychopathology People who have<unk>  are at<unk> gher risk of other psychopathology than the normal population. This includes suicidal<unk> , psychosis, delirium, or intoxication. In one study, it shows that people with schizophrenia have an increased risk of committing violent acts, including homicide.<unk>  may arise in relation to behavioural conditions such as personality disorder (particularly conduct disorder, narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder). A study in Finland showed an increased risk of violence from people who have antisocial personality disorder, which is greater than the risk of violence from people who have schizophrenia. The same study also cites that many other mental disorders are not associated with an increased risk of violence, of note: depression, anxiety disorders and intellectual disability.<unk>  may arise in people who are otherwise quite well, as is demonstrated by the fact that the greater majority of people within the general population have had<unk>  fantasies. When triggering factors are sought regarding<unk>  fantasies the majority seem to be linked in some way to the disruption of a couple relationship. Either jealousy or revenge, greed/lust or even fear and self-defense prompt<unk>  thoughts and actions in the majority of cases. In a minority of cases, homicides and acts of violence may be related to mental disorder. These homicides and fantasies do not seem to have the same underlying triggers as those by people without a mental disorder, but when these trigger factors are present the risk for violence is greater than usual. People who present with<unk>  also have a<unk> gher risk of suicide. This shows the need for an assessment of suicide risk in people with thoughts of violence towards others. Spurious and fictitious<unk>  Sometimes people claiming to have<unk>  do not actually have<unk>  thoughts but merely claim to have them. They may do this for a variety of reasons, e.g. to gain attention, to coerce a person or people for or against some action, or to avoid social or legal obligation (sometimes by gaining admission to a hospital) — see malingering or factitious disorder.
