Management of psychiatric disorders in patients with cardiovascular disease...: DISCOVER for Books, Articles and Media
Analyzes the complex relationship between psychiatric illnesses and cardiovascular disorders (CVDs). CVDs are the leading cause of mortality according to WHO.

There are many similarities as both are chronic illnesses, CVDs being found to be 1.5-2 times higher in pts with mental illness.

Pts with mental illness have higher rates of comorbidities that contribute to a lower life expectancy and more frequent hospitalizations. Pts with a severe mental illness (SMI) and one or more chronic illnesses such as diabetes, COPD, or cardiovascular disease have higher rates of hospital presentations than the general public, or people without a SMI. Results show an increased risk of medication non-compliance, lower rates of outpatient follow-up due to reduced access or ability to attend, and more complex medical histories.
