Abstract:
COMMON PHYSICAL HEALTH PROBLEMS IN PSYCHIATRY. Somatic psychiatric care is particularly important as life expectancy declines of 13 to 16 years among individuals with severe mental disorders, primaly due to cardiovascular and cancer-related diseases. They face a triple burden: their mental disorders, reduced life expectancy and limited healthcare access. Common comorbidities related to psychotropic medications, lifestyle and the mental condition itself, affect various organs with complex clinical expressions. The multidimensional vulnerability is attributable to the side-effects of psychotropic drugs, mental disorders, and healthcare system fragmentation, hindering access to care. The proposed solutions aim for a better integration of mental health into general healthcare, with increased awareness among caregivers for a holistic approach to health.
