Thesis (M.S.Psy.)--Kaplan University, 2017.

One in 30 Americans is diagnosed with a Serious Mental Illness (SMI; National Alliance on Mental Illness, 2016). Those with SMI die 8-32 years sooner than those without SMI, often due to medical comorbidities (Pratt et al., 2013). The current research aimed to determine if self-endorsed mortality factors in those with SMI vary based on primary mental health diagnosis. A questionnaire was developed; subjects were recruited from disability groups on social media. Even with a small sample size, N = 32, and a small number of persons diagnosed with each mental disorder, statistically significant (or near significant) differences between diagnoses emerged for 5 mortality risk factors, including obesity, asthma, diabetes, worship attendance, and community involvement. The proportion of subjects having these risk factors dramatically differed by diagnosis; e.g., those with schizophrenia were much more likely to have diabetes than those with other SMI diagnoses, at 80% vs. 11%. Similar remarkable variations occurred for the other significant risk factors. These large differences by diagnosis have important implications for treatment/prevention in persons with SMI, suggesting, for example, the possible need to target those with greater medical comorbidities via local, accessible wellness programming to reduce lifespan disparities. It is also possible that in larger samples of persons with SMI, additional, albeit less dramatic, differences in mortality risk factors may emerge, offering further implications for treatment and management based on SMI diagnosis. The findings of this pilot study were so dramatic that one can conclude that additional research on this topic is warranted to address the large longevity deficits in persons with SMI in America.
