Abstract

In Reply In our systematic review and meta-analysis1 examining the association between schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) and violence, we included 24 studies of violent outcomes. Data from 15 countries consistently reported associations between SSD and violent outcomes despite using different diagnostic criteria and violence measurement. We carefully framed findings in terms of stigma, highlighting low absolute rates and the potential role of treatment in reducing risk.
