Question:
Why does having a severe mental illness increase the risk od diabetes?
and what do they class as having a severe mental health problem?
Answers:
I have never heard this, but I can venture a guess. Some of the heavy duty antipsychotic drugs (zyprexa, risperdal, seroquel) that are used to treat some mental illnesses can have diabetes as a side effect.
