Morbidity and Mortality in People with Serious Mental Illness, by National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors, October 2006. This study found that the rate of serious morbidity (illness) and mortality (death) of people diagnosed with serious mental illness has accelerated to the point where they are now dying 25 years earlier than the general population. The Executive Summary does not attribute this to psychiatric drugs, but the body of the report is pretty clear that the major change is the advent of the second generation neuroleptics, also misnomered "atypical antipsychchotics" and the great increase in polypharmacy, the practice of giving multiple psychiatric drugs to patients.
