The coroner's concerns
1. Acute Behavioural Disturbance leading to fatal outcomes
“Acute Behavioural Disturbance in simple terms is when a person exhibits violent behaviour in a bizarre and manic way rather than being simply violent. ABD is an 'Umbrella' term that covers a variety of conditions that can give similar signs and symptoms which can prove fatal. ABD can be caused by substance misuse such as drink or drugs or psychiatric illness”
