Article Synopsis
- Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that significantly lowers quality of life and life expectancy, often accompanied by various health comorbidities.
- Despite known increased mortality rates among schizophrenia patients, the effects of gastrointestinal and liver diseases on them are not well understood, though issues like chronic liver disease and constipation from antipsychotic treatment are prevalent.
- There is a need for improved awareness and collaborative support within the medical community to ensure timely and appropriate care for these patients, especially in regard to digestive health and screenings like bowel cancer tests.
