While people with SMD do have higher rates of death due to unnatural causes (accidents, homicide, or suicide) than the general population, the majority of deaths amongst people with SMD are attributable to physical health conditions, both non-communicable and communicable Tags: physical health, severe mental disorders, guideline, physical health conditions, Source: http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handl
