They also found that people with bipolar disorder were more likely to develop high-risk heart disorders at younger ages.
There have been many studies investigating the relationship between mental illness and heart disease, but the majority have not been successful in replicating the findings. One study found that people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder had a higher risk of heart disease than people without those disorders.
There is a large overlap in the symptoms associated with mental disorders and cardiovascular disease. These symptoms are related to stress hormones, which can increase the risk of heart problems.
