NCRMD
Language: English
Part of speech: phrase
Senses: examples: text: Another myth about NCRMD is that the defence is most commonly used in cases of homicide or other serious violent offences.

And living with the knowledge of what one has done is, for many people found NCRMD, a strong motivation to continue to participate in treatment, thus reducing the risk of future harms.
