Mental Illness, Substance Use, And Cardiovascular Disease: Unravelling Causal Relationships
How The Mental Illness And Related Comorbidities Correlatesevere Psychiatric Disorders, Such As Psychosis, Depression, And Bipolar Disorder, Have A Significant Socio-Economic Impact. Identifying The Causative Mechanisms Between These Disorders And Their Comorbidities, Such As Cardiovascular Disease Or Substance Misuse, Is Essential. The Eu-Funded Unravel-Causality Project Aims To Investigate Whether Mental Illness Leads To Comorbidities Or If Comorbidities Increase The Risk Of Mental Illness Or Its Severity. The Project Will Take An Interdisciplinary Approach, Combining Epidemiological And Genetic Causal Methods, Longitudinal Analyses, Model Genomic Structural Equitation, And Mendelian Randomisation To Establish Causality. The Findings Will Enhance Our Understanding Of Psychiatric Symptoms, As Well As Prevention And Treatment Strategies. By Shedding Light On These Complex Relationships, The Project Will Improve Mental Health Outcomes For Individuals With Severe Psychiatric Disorders.
