Mortality gap narrows for severe mental illness, stalls in schizophrenia

Original: Mortality gap narrows for severe mental health, flattens for schizophrenia

New reporting indicates that the mortality gap between people with severe mental illness and the general population has narrowed, though progress for schizophrenia has flattened. The findings suggest overall improvements in physical health care and life expectancy for people with serious mental health conditions, but stalled outcomes in schizophrenia are raising concern among clinicians about uneven progress in treatment and integrated care.

Why now: New data on life expectancy trends for people with severe mental illness highlight both progress and stalled improvement in schizophrenia.
