Health inequalities in psychiatry are well established, with people living in poverty and those from minoritised groups receiving different care and experiencing worse health outcomes. Psychiatric patients experience significant differences in life expectancy compared with the general population. This article explores changes within psychiatric services and public health interventions that could address health inequalities and asks why this has not happened yet.
精神病学中的健康不平等现象已得到充分证实，生活贫困的人群以及少数群体接受的护理不同，健康状况也更差。与普通人群相比，精神科患者的预期寿命存在显著差异。本文探讨了精神科服务和公共卫生干预措施中可能解决健康不平等问题的变化，并追问为何尚未实现这一点。
