The greatest danger is seen in respiratory tract infections, especially pneumonia, where the risk increases 3.27 times. A study published in the journal eClinicalMedicine highlights the importance of monitoring physical health in psychiatric patients.

This study revealed the need to develop infectious disease prevention interventions targeting patients with severe mental disorders to improve their prognosis.
