Psychiatrists are today calling on the government to put mental health at
the heart of their new public health strategy, which is due to be unveiled
later this year.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych) has published a compelling
bank of evidence showing why public health strategies cannot afford to
ignore mental health. The position statement, No health without public
mental health: the case for action, shows that:
* People with a mental disorder smoke almost half of all tobacco
consumed in the UK and account for almost half of all smoking-related
deaths.
* Depression doubles the risk of developing coronary heart disease.
* People with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder die an average 20
years earlier than the general population, largely owing to physical
health problems.
* People with two or more long-term physical illnesses have a seven
times greater risk of depression.
* Children from the poorest households have a three-fold greater risk
of mental ill health than children from the richest households.
RCPsych President Professor, Dinesh Bhugra, said: Historically, government
public health strategies have concentrated on physical health and
overlooked the importance of both mental illness and mental wellbeing. But
there is no health without mental health.
