Original: People With Severe Mental Illness Are Dying More Than 10 Years Earlier. Researchers Say This Is Why
New research highlights that people living with severe mental illness die more than 10 years earlier than the general population. Researchers point to contributing factors behind the gap, which is widely attributed in the field to physical health conditions going undertreated, higher rates of smoking and cardiovascular disease, medication side effects, and poorer access to healthcare. The finding has renewed calls to close the life-expectancy gap for this group.
Why now: Fresh research quantifying a stark and persistent mortality gap for people with severe mental illness is drawing attention to ongoing failures in integrated care.
