Closing the mortality gap for severe mental illness: Are we going in the right direction?

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this editorial, we discuss a UK-based cohort study examining the mortality gap for people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder from 2000 to 2014. There have been concerted efforts to improve physical and mental healthcare for this population in recent decades. Have these initiatives reduced mortality and ‘closed the gap’?
