Resources from the Physical Health Campaign
People with severe mental illness die on average 20 years younger than the general population, often from preventable physical illnesses.
Rethink Mental Illness is campaigning to make sure the physical health needs of people with mental illness are no longer ignored. Local activists are campaigning on this in their local areas now!
