It cites a 2022 Lancet Psychiatry meta-analysis reporting a 10–20 year reduced life expectancy for people with severe mental illness, notes WHO estimates of nearly one billion people living with mental disorders and that depression is the leading global cause of disability, and describes physiological pathways (chronic stress → cortisol → inflammation and immune weakening) and links to cardiovascular risk and gut–brain/microbiome influences.
