2006 Report from the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD) Medical Directors Council:
"It has been known for several years that persons with serious mental illness die younger than the general population. However, recent evidence reveals that the rate of serious morbidity (illness) and mortality (death) in this population has accelerated. In fact, persons with serious mental illness (SMI) are now dying 25 years earlier than the general population.
"This report reviews the causes of excess morbidity and mortality in this population and makes recommendations to improve their care. It presents a roadmap for strategic approaches to reduce excess illness and premature death among the persons served by State Mental Health Authorities.
