Abstract
There is considerable amount of evidence to suggest that individuals living with serious mental illness experience greater risk of morbidity and mortality than the general population. Many of those living with a SMI have dual diagnosis of substance abuse and are least likely to access and use preventive health care services. While there are many interrelated and complex factors associated with health disparities among adults with serious mental illness, many are modifiable risk factors and constitute a major public health problem worldwide. Individuals with serious mental illness experience challenges and difficulties navigating health systems and have limited access to high quality care and preventive services. Compared to the general population, this vulnerable group life expectancy may be shortening by 25 years. The myriad of complex issues that contribute to health disparities among those with serious mental illness will be presented and discussed.Biography
