    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Endocrinology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Long-stay psychiatric patients often have complex health needs.
    • Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness with potential physical comorbidities.
    • Diabetes mellitus is a growing public health concern.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of diabetes mellitus in long-stay patients in Northern Irish psychiatric hospitals.
    • To investigate a potential relationship between schizophrenia and diabetes mellitus.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study design.
    • Analysis of patient data from two psychiatric institutions.
    • Comparison of observed diabetes incidence with expected rates.

    Main Results:

    • A higher percentage of diabetic patients was observed than anticipated.
    • The study identified a notable prevalence of diabetes mellitus within the studied psychiatric population.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings suggest a potential link between psychiatric care, specifically drug therapy for mental illness, and the development of diabetes mellitus.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the contributory effects of psychotropic medications on diabetes incidence.
