Mental illness is closely linked to health inequalities, as those living with a mental illness often experience disparities in access to services, health care, education, and employment. Mental illnesses can also contribute to health inequalities, as individuals living with mental illness often live with other comorbid physical health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions, which can cause a strain on their physical health and lead to unequal access to necessary treatments. Additionally, individuals living with a mental illness often have difficulty accessing social support or resources due to stigma or other factors, which can lead to disparities in health outcomes.
