Description:
Domestic violence may lead to, or exacerbate, mental disorder and people with mental disorders may be at greater risk of victimisation. We present a systematic review of the prevalence and relative risk of domestic violence victimisation amongst people with mental disorders, discuss the methodological quality of studies and identify future research priorities in this area.
