Aggression towards caregivers in mental health care is a big problem worldwide, but there's no agreed-upon definition of what aggression actually is.
Different professionals may have different views on aggression, which can make handling it harder and lead to people getting treated in ways that might not help them much.
Caregivers really need better ways to manage aggressive behavior without using forceful methods, and it’s important for everyone in mental health care to come together and agree on what aggression means to improve their work.
