The ethical importance of assessing end-of-life care preferences in patients with severe and persistent mental illness

Article indépendant

TRACHSEL, Manuel

It is well known that patients with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) have a high mortality rate and die 10 to 20 years earlier than persons in the general population.One explanation for their premature death is that SPMI is more likely to result in destructive somatic illnesses for a number of reasons, including the fact that somatic illnesses are less likely to be diagnosed in SPMI patients and a higher risk of suicide, either by the patient's own hand or assisted by physicians.
