A study regarding the prevalence of hospitalized patients with potentially aggressive behavior during one pre-pandemic year

Summary/Abstract: Although the modern era has brought new ways of diagnosis and treatment to the medical field, and especially to the neurosciences, psychiatric disorders accompanied by aggressive behavior remain a mental health problem, but also an issue that targets society in general. Psychiatric illnesses which have an aggressive component represent a source of social disruption and a threat to public health. It is noteworthy to mention that these disorders are among the leading causes of disability worldwide, accounting for a third of all years lost to disability. Around 33% of the world's population will develop a mental health issue at some point in their lives and an important number of them will build up a hostile demeanor, as psychiatric disorders and aggression are often seen as inextricably linked. In order to apply the principles of prophylaxis, i.e., prophylactic, curative and rehabilitative treatment of psychiatric pathology in current practice, it was necessary to collect data targeting cases of psychiatric disorders accompanied by aggressive behavior, taking into account external and internal factors of the individuals. For a more objective analysis of the observed prevalence, data were collected during the pre-pandemic year, focusing on acute cases of both genders.
