Hazard ratios for the association between psychotropic medication and violent crime in a Swedish population cohort of 82 647 patients with prescriptions

	Any of the three drug types	Mood stabiliser	Antipsychotic	Clozapine
Within-individual*	0·57 (0·50–0·65)	0·76 (0·62–0·93)	0·55 (0·47–0·64)	0·53 (0·16–1·74)
Between-individual†	0·36 (0·34–0·39)	0·32 (0·28–0·35)	0·60 (0·54–0·65)	0·10 (0·05–0·19)

Data are hazard ratio (95% CI). In total, 4948 convicted violent crimes were committed.

^*The within-individual analyses are adjusted by other psychotropic medications (mood stabilisers, antipsychotics, or clozapine).

^†The between-individual analyses are adjusted by age, sex, and concomitant use of other psychotropic medications.
