It is important to recognize the risk of murderous thoughts, there should be a thorough investigation into the current desire to kill if the person is likely to hurt their partner, their intentions, plans and means, especially past violence and protective factors. Clinicians should determine the immediate risk; Does the client believe that the abuse is a justified or normal response to the situation and does the client develop and document a collaborative response plan? Thoughts of murder can occur in connection with behavioral disorders such as personality disorders (especially behavioral disorders, narcissistic personality disorders, and antisocial personality disorders). A study conducted in Finland showed an increased risk of violence from people with antisocial personality disorder, which is greater than the risk of violence from people with schizophrenia. [8] The same study also notes that many other mental disorders are not associated with an increased risk of violence, including depression, anxiety disorders and mental retardation. A psychiatric approach is thought to be central to the diagnosis of homicide because it is the behavioral end product of mental processes. However, the attribution of a psychiatric diagnosis should not be confused with this broader study of personality function, which attempts to describe the full dynamics of a particular individual`s behavioral patterns. The state of general mental function and the presence and effects of mental disorders must be considered to fully understand what causes a person`s murder. Certain criteria should be taken into account when diagnosing homicide; Diagnostic patterns in a killer population, patterns of violence, relevant distinguishing factors can be used to break them down into useful groups based on shared demographic and diagnostic patterns. [11] People who are victims of homicide are more likely to develop other mental illnesses, including suicidal thoughts, psychosis, delirium or intoxication. Thoughts of murder can be distinguished from suicidal thoughts. Suicidal thoughts, also known as suicidal thoughts, mean planning, thinking about suicide. Suicidal behavior can be reported as a spectrum from fleeting suicidal thoughts to complete suicide. It is often seen in conjunction with depression and other mood disorders.

Suicidal thoughts are more common than suicide attempts or death by suicide. [4] Thoughts of murder are often concocted by psychiatric patients both in the emergency room and in the inpatient area. These patients claim to have thoughts of murder but have no thoughts of murder. You may do this for various reasons, such as to attract attention, force one or more people for or against an action, or to avoid social or legal obligations for, for example; temporary relief of complications of drug abuse, illegal reasons, homelessness or mainly to stay in the role of the patient. Such cases raise both medico-legal and clinical questions, reinforcing the fact that more research is needed to develop more sophisticated methods of detecting, assessing, and treating evidence-based disorders with psychological symptoms. [2] It can occur in the context of personality disorders or in people who do not have detectable disease. In fact, surveys have shown that the majority of people have had murder fantasies at some point in their lives. [2] Many theories have been proposed to explain this. [2] [4] Thoughts of murder are an important risk factor when trying to identify a person`s risk of violence. This type of assessment is routine for psychiatric patients[5] or other patients presenting to hospital with mental health issues.

There are many associated risk factors, including: history of violence and all thoughts of harm, poor impulse control, and inability to delay satisfaction, impairment, or loss of reality tests, especially delusional beliefs or command hallucinations, feeling controlled by an outside force, believing that other people want to harm them, perceive rejection or humiliation by others, [1] Under the influence of substances or a history of antisocial personality disorder, frontal lobe dysfunction or head trauma. A number of theories have been proposed to explain the phenomenon of murderous thoughts or homicide itself. [4] Many of these theories seem to overlap. Often, they are not mutually exclusive. Currently, no single theory explains all the phenomena found in homicide, although many theories help explain several areas. Most of these theories follow the reasoning of theories that have been studied in criminology. The following is a brief summary of homicide-specific theories. Thoughts of murder are associated with serious psychiatric and behavioral problems and have important implications for perpetrator typologies and murder. Many disorders are likely to have murderous thoughts, including antisocial personality disorder (2406%), schizoaffective disorder (1821%), borderline personality disorder (1557%), paranoid personality disorder (1,504%), schizophrenia (1,143%), obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (921%), brief psychotic disorder (771%), unspecified psychosis (737%), avoidant personality disorder (596%) and schizoid personality disorder (571%), delusional disorder (546%) and other psychotic disorders (504%). [3] People who present with thoughts of murder also have a higher risk of suicide. This shows the need for a suicide risk assessment in people with thoughts of violence towards others.

[1] Murder is defined by law as „when one person causes the death of another,“ that is, when he plans, thinks and wants to harm others. In judicial law, unlawful homicide may be sufficient for murder and manslaughter. There is a clear distinction between unlawful homicide and justified murder. Thoughts of murder may be due to a mental illness such as schizophrenia, but are not always the result of a mental health problem. Thoughts of murder are one of the psychiatric emergencies. Murder is different from suicide, which means that a person wants to harm themselves instead of hurt themselves. A suicidal patient may also have thoughts of murder; A risk assessment is used to diagnose and distinguish between the two. Thoughts of murder are a common medical term for thoughts about murder. There are a number of murderous thoughts ranging from vague thoughts of revenge to detailed and fully formulated plans without the act itself. Many people who have thoughts of murder do not commit murder.

50 to 91 percent of respondents on college campuses in various locations across the United States admit to having a murder fantasy. Thoughts of murder are widespread, accounting for 10 to 17 percent of patient submissions to psychiatric facilities in the United States. Thoughts of murder are not a disease in themselves, but can result from other illnesses such as delirium and psychosis. Psychoses, which account for 89% of admissions with homicidal thoughts in a U.S. study, include substance-induced psychosis (e.g., amphetamine psychosis) and psychosis related to schizophreniform disorders and schizophrenia. Delirium is often drug-induced or secondary to general medical disorders (see ICD-10 Chapter V: Mental and behavioral disorders F05). It can occur in conjunction with personality disorders or it can occur in people who do not have detectable disease. In fact, surveys have shown that the majority of people have had murder fantasies at some point in their lives. Many theories have been proposed to explain this.

Sometimes people who claim to have thoughts of murder do not have thoughts of murder, but simply claim to have them. You can do this for a variety of reasons, such as to attract attention, force one or more people for or against an act, or to avoid social or legal obligations (sometimes by being admitted to hospital) – see deception or fictitious disorder. [11] There is not much information about treating patients with murderous thoughts. In Western countries, the management of these people is a matter for police and health care. It is generally accepted that people with thoughts of murder, who are considered to be at high risk of committing the act, should be identified as needing help. They should be promptly transferred to a location where an assessment can be done and any underlying medical or mental conditions treated. [12] People who have thoughts of murder have a higher risk of other psychopathologies than the general population. These include suicidal thoughts, psychosis, delirium or intoxication.

[6] A study shows that people with schizophrenia are at increased risk of committing acts of violence, including murder. [7] No data on the clinical course of murderous thoughts were found. Thoughts of murder are not a disease in themselves, but can result from other illnesses such as delirium and psychosis. Psychoses, which accounted for 89% of admissions with murderous thoughts in one U.S. study,[3] include substance-induced psychosis (e.g., amphetamine psychosis) and psychoses associated with schizophreniform disorder and schizophrenia. Delirium is often drug-induced or secondary to common medical conditions. Thoughts of murder can occur in people who are otherwise very well,[1] as evidenced by the fact that the vast majority of people in the general population had murderous fantasies. When looking for triggers related to murder fantasies, the majority seem to be related in one way or another to the disruption of a relationship. Jealousy or revenge, greed/lust or even fear and self-defense lead in most cases to murderous thoughts and actions. [9] In a minority of cases, homicide and violence may be related to mental disorders. These homicides and fantasies do not appear to have the same underlying triggers as those of people without a mental disorder, but when these triggers are present, the risk of violence is greater than usual.
