Crime, re-offense and substance abuse of patients with severe mental disorder
José Fernando Santos Almeida and Diana Moreira
Instituto Universitário da Maia, Portugal
There are clinical variables related to severe violence by mentally ill as hostility, behavior influenced by the hallucinatory
activity, grandiosity- with unrealistic belief of superiority, the delirious activity of suspicion/persecution and accelerated
motor behavior hyperactivity, highly responsive to stimuli and hyperarousal or excessive instability. Other important factors
to match, when we address violence committed by these patients are substance abuse, premorbid personality and ecological
problems, namely, the quality of life in the family. Falk et al. concluded that persistent violence was associated with male
gender, personality disorder, convicted of a violent crime before the age of 19, offenses related to drugs, non-violent crime,
substance use and mental disorder. The decrease in consumption of substances is very important when we want to prevent
criminal recidivism of these patients even when patients are set free after serving a safety measure for a crime they have
committed. In order to prevent criminal recidivism when they were released, we implemented a psychiatric care intervention
with these patients.
