Metabolic Health and Serious Mental Illness Linked
Original: Metabolic Health & Serious Mental Illness
Attention is turning to the close connection between metabolic health and serious mental illness. People with conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder face markedly higher rates of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and clinicians are calling for metabolic monitoring to become a routine part of psychiatric care. The discussion highlights how physical health risks are often overlooked in mental health treatment, shortening life expectancy for this group.
Why now: Renewed clinical focus on treating the physical health of psychiatric patients as part of mental health care.
