I came across this article that was published in Norway that addresses the issue of decreased life expectancy in people with schizophrenia. The writer stated the facts at hand - all of the facts - including the fact that schizophrenia takes more lives than heart disease or cancer, yet little to nothing is done socially to fix this.
Schizophrenia is more than just a mental disease, a fact that I am intimately familiar with. Yet it is treated in a vacuum. This needs to change.
