Abstract

Galletly’s commentary on new data describing years of potential life lost for people with schizophrenia broadens discussion beyond excessive rates of obesity and premature metabolic syndrome, highlights social concomitants of living with a severe mental illness, and outlines how poverty and social disadvantage contribute to poor medical care in these patients. We agree that addressing socioeconomic disparities, improving access to medical care, and changing prescribing practices are priorities in improving physical health outcomes in people with schizophrenia.
