People living with severe mental illness, such as schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder, frequently experience poorer physical health compared to those without mental illness. This issue has hitherto been approached through the disease-centred construct of comorbidity, where subsequent conditions are viewed as secondary to an 'index condition'. In contrast, this Viewpoint sets out to explain
