Article Synopsis
- People with psychosis face higher rates of early death and disproportionately interact with the criminal justice system, but the impact of criminal penalties on their mortality remains understudied.
- This study investigated how various types of recent criminal sanctions, like court diversion and imprisonment, affect mortality rates in individuals with psychotic disorders, using comprehensive data from New South Wales, Australia.
- Results showed that out of 83,071 participants, nearly one-third had received a criminal sanction, and the research aimed to identify the causes of death and differences in mortality rates based on the type of sanction applied, with a focus on those under 65 years old.
Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzed mortality rates among individuals with dementia or mild cognitive impairment who engaged in self-harm over a 14-year period in New South Wales, Australia, finding 1,511 individuals with both conditions.
- - The research indicated that circulatory disorders were the leading cause of death (32%) in this group, with risk factors for mortality including male sex, physical health issues, and a history of delirium, while better engagement with outpatient mental health services decreased the chances of repeat self-harm.
- - The findings emphasize that the risk of death increases when individuals with self-harm also develop dementia, highlighting the need for enhanced support after diagnosis to potentially lower mortality rates.
