Physical Health and Schizophrenia (Oxford Psychiatry Library Series) (PDF Book)
Physical Health and Schizophrenia offers a user-friendly guide to the physical health problems associated with schizophrenia and a clear overview of strategies and interventions to tackle these issues. By David J. Castle (Author), Peter F. Buckley (Author), Fiona P. Gaughran (Author), this book helps one understand that people with schizophrenia and related disorders have poorer physical health and increased mortality compared to the general population. It also highlights that suicide is not the only cause of early mortality associated with schizophrenia. In reality, the vast majority of early deaths among schizophrenia patients are due to cardiovascular factors.
