A member asked:
Is my schizophrenic step aunt dangerous to be around?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dangerousness: The general public often erroneously believes that people with schizophrenia are dangerous and should be avoided. But, the truth is that for people with schizophrenia (as with many other people) violent behavior is more common when there are other risk factors, such as substance abuse, a history of violence, physical abuse; being a crime victim, getting divorced, or losing a job.
