People with mental illness face higher mortality rates due to poor physical health. This review highlights how mental disorders increase physical disease risk and impact healthcare treatment, contributing to this gap.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Psychiatry
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • A significant mortality gap exists between individuals with and without mental illness.
  • Poor physical health is the primary driver of excess mortality in the mentally ill population.
  • Mental disorders are linked to increased physical disease risk and poorer outcomes in somatic healthcare.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing the physical health needs of individuals with mental illness is crucial to reduce mortality.
  • Improving somatic healthcare treatment and mitigating stigma are essential interventions.
  • Systemic changes in healthcare delivery are necessary to close the mortality gap.
