What contributions, if any, do low self-esteem and mental illness make to the probability of violent behavior?
What will be an ideal response?
Low self-esteem has at most a weak correlation with aggressive behavior, and probably no causal relationship with it. It is more likely that whatever life events led to low self-esteem also led to violent behavior. People with mental illness are no more violent than other people, on average, unless they abuse alcohol or other drugs. People with mental illness and substance abuse have an increased risk.
