In our latest paper, we found that individuals with PTSD in Sweden were 3 times as likely as their siblings without PTSD to be convicted of a violent crime. The work was led by my Karolinska Institutet colleague Isabell Brikell, Ralf Kuja-Halkola and their student Anabelle Paulino.

New paper!! Systematic review of risk assessment tools for crime/violence in forensic mental health. 50 studies, 36 tools, >10k participants. Reasonably large evidence base. #OA #forensic Short 🧵 thelancet.com/journals/lanps…

Anabelle Paulino Anabelle Paulino & Maya Ogonah Maya Ogonah from @oxpsychiatry summarise a recent Danish longitudinal study led by Kimberlie Dean in The Lancet Reg Health-Europe on the risk of violent victimisation and perpetration following the onset of mental illness nationalelfservice.net/?p=193831

Great blog about new paper on violence outcomes (victimization and perpetration) in mental illness based on Danish population registers. Still can’t do this in the UK. Ends with some thoughtful implications - prevention a key way to reduce stigma, not ignoring the evidence.

⚠️ The pandemic left mental health services over-exposed to levels of need they couldn't meet. Referrals have failed to return to pre-pandemic levels, with one million people now waiting for support. It's vital the Government invest in services now: centreformentalhealth.org.uk/publications/c…

"The intersection of racism & mental health is a deep wound... Being part of the solution has shown that young Black people are the architects of our future. We are ready to drive lasting change, but we need systems that truly support and invest in that vision." - Melvin Riley
