Metabolic Health in Serious Mental Illness Draws Attention
Original: Metabolic Health & Serious Mental Illness
Attention is turning to the link between metabolic health and serious mental illness, with clinicians highlighting that conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder carry elevated risks of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Commentators are urging psychiatrists to monitor physical health alongside psychiatric symptoms, arguing that metabolic care should be a routine part of treatment for people with severe mental illness.
Why now: Growing clinical awareness that people with serious mental illness face shorter life expectancy largely due to preventable metabolic and cardiovascular problems.
