This may be true for all mental illnesses collectively, but surely …

there are some particular mental illnesses that greatly increase the chance of the person harming others.

My “exact words” need the front half of the sentence.

A particular mental illness - psychopathy (for example) - greatly increases the chance (I surmise) of the person harming others (relative to anorexics, for example, and people with no mental illness).

I don’t see anything controversial in associating levels of violence with some types of mental illness.
