Defining “Co-Morbidity”
• The co-occurrence of mental and physical disorders within the same person, regardless of the chronological order in which they occurred or the causal pathway linking them.
• Having a mental disorder is a risk factor for developing a chronic condition, and having a chronic condition is a risk factor for developing a mental disorder.
• When mental and medical conditions co-occur, the combination is associated with elevated symptom burden, functional impairment, decreased length and quality of life, and increased health care costs.
