This resource was selected by SMI Adviser content partners and approved by the SMI Adviser clinical expert team for inclusion in the knowledge base.

This resource is an overview of the literature on serious mental illness and risk of violence.

Those with untreated illness and substance use disorders pose the greatest risk.
