    Open AccessAlan E Kazdin, Kazdin Ae et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Mental…2026

    BACKGROUND: The quality of mental disorder treatment varies widely, with many patients not receiving treatments based on evidence-based guidelines.

METHODS: Data come from 25 WMH surveys carried out in 21 co…

  • Association of Mental Disorders With Subsequent Chronic Physical Conditions

    Kate M Scott, Carmen Lim et al.ARTICLEJAMA Psychiatry2016

    These findings suggest that mental disorders of all kinds are associated with an increased risk of onset of a wide range of chronic physical conditions. Current efforts to improve the physical health of individuals with mental disorders may be too narrowly focused on the small group with the most severe mental disorders. Interventions aimed at the primary prevention of chronic physical diseases should optimally be integrated into treatment of all…
