Abstract

This review investigates the mortality gap that exists between people with or people without mental illness. Poor physical health is the leading cause of excess mortality among people with mental illness. Mental disorders increase the risk of developing a broad range of physical diseases and the risk of death caused by somatic diseases is increased. Also, mental disorder is associated with less optimal treatment in the somatic healthcare system, which is also evident within a broad spectrum of somatic diseases. The role of structural factors such as the design of the healthcare system and stigma are developing.
