The findings indicate a direct relationship between a lifetime diagnosis of dysthymia, and an arrest or incarceration history for robbery and multiple incidents of adult fighting. Recurrent depression was significantly related to a history of robbery incarceration, while depression symptoms were associated with multiple incidents of adult fighting. Manic symptoms were inconsistently associated with expressive violence. Several mood disorder/violence models showed no significant relationship. Future research should use specific mood disorder and symptom measures in order to permit firm inferences about the mood disorder/violence relationship. 2 tables and 13 references
