Aggression
Aggressive behaviors in patients with psychiatric disorders have many possible causes. Patients with schizophrenia living in the community usually would not fall into the persistently violent category, but they may present acutely with aggressive and violent behavior.

The treatment of medical and psychiatric disorders is more complicated in patients with comorbid personality disorders.

Bullying involves a pattern of repeated aggression, a deliberate intent to harm or disturb a victim despite the victim's apparent distress, and a real or perceived imbalance of power.
