A member asked:
Is it really the case that those with mental illnesses have shorter life spans?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: On the average, even controlling for the increased rate of deaths from accidents, suicide, homicide, and substance abuse. If you or someone you love is laboring under this terrible disability, let me reach out to you and wish you the best. Firmness, structure, and fairness are best help for these unfortunates.
