Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A huge amount of research indicates that mental health and chronic disease are closely intertwined. People with chronic disease often also have some type of mental health condition, particularly depression, although it is often unclear which came first-the physical or mental health issue. People with serious and persistent mental illness have a high rate of chronic disease, including such conditions as cardiovascular problems, cerebrovascular conditions, diabetes mellitus, and cancer, and a very high mortality rate. Serious intentional and accidental injuries are related to mental illness, according to the CDC.
