Bern: So there is about a 3 to 4 times chance that a person with schizophrenia exhibits violence (only during episodes), but like schizophrenic people are always attacking people with their mind right?

Google Gemini: Schizophrenic people are not attacking anyone with their mind.

While public perception often associates schizophrenia with violence, clinical research shows:

Low Absolute Risk: The vast majority of people with schizophrenia are non-violent. Where an increased statistical risk exists (often linked to untreated acute psychosis or co-occurring substance use), it is typically localized to brief periods of crisis.
Victimization: Individuals with schizophrenia are significantly more likely to be victims of violence, self-harm, or abuse than they are to harm others.
