Disordered Aggression and Violence in the United States.

CONCLUSION: Recurrent aggressive behavior is common in both adolescents and adults, with clinically significant consequences to those with this pattern and to others in their environment (ie, using guns and other weapons to threaten others). While this type of behavior can be reduced though pharmacologic/psychosocial treatment intervention, the vast majority of aggressive individuals do not engage in treatment for their aggressive behavior. Screening individuals for such behavior in one's practice may do much toward identifying this problem and bringing such individuals into treatment. PMID: 32220154 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
