TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Improving the life expectancy of people with serious mental illness JO - British journal of hospital medicine (London, England : 2005) A1 - Chang, Chin-Kuo SP - 126 EP - 127 VL - 73 IS - 3 N2 - People with diagnoses of serious mental illness (including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder and sometimes depressive psychosis) have higher risks of premature mortality from various causes, not just as a result of suicide but also from physical illnesses commonly found in the general population (Robson and Gray, 2007). They face remarkably elevated all-cause mortality in all age groups and thus a shorter longevity (Laursen et al, 2007; Chang et al, 2010, 2011; Piatt et al, 2010).
