FIELD: medicine; general and forensic psychiatry.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to assess the risk of aggressive behavior. Urine and blood are taken to determine the levels of serotonin in the urine and the levels of cortisol and testosterone hormones in the blood. Further, based on the obtained data, the regression equation is calculated according to the stated formula (P). Screening of potential public danger using psychometrics according to the method of structured risk assessment of dangerous behavior (SRADB) is performed. When P is higher than or equal to 0.48, the score according to the SRADB method is higher than or equal to (+) 20, a conclusion is made about the high risk of the patient's aggressive behavior at present and committing socially dangerous actions by him in the future. When P is below 0.48 and the score according to the SRADB method is below or equal to (-) 20, a conclusion is made about the low risk of the patient's aggressive behavior at present and the commission of socially dangerous acts of a violent nature by him in the future. When P is higher than or equal to 0.48 and the assessment according to the SRADB method is lower than or equal to (+) 19, a conclusion is made about the high risk of the patient's aggressive behavior at present. If P is below 0.48 and the SRADB score is greater than or equal to (-) 19, a conclusion is made that the risk of aggressive behavior is low at present.

EFFECT: method improves the accuracy of predicting the likelihood of socially dangerous aggressive behavior of persons with severe mental disorders, the prevention of nosocomial aggression and violent offenses, as well as the objectification of the conclusions of medical commissions on the extension and termination of compulsory treatment.
