Why does having a severe mental illness increase the risk od diabetes?!


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.
