Hidden health crisis: new screening aims to catch physical illness in mental health patients
NCT ID NCT07518446
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
People with serious mental illness often have undiagnosed physical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. This study tests whether adding routine physical health checks to psychiatric care helps find and treat these hidden illnesses. About 2,800 adults in Denmark will take part, and their results will be compared to those receiving usual care.
