Physical vs. mental

I was surprised to find the introduction addressing first life expectancy and then disability. My expectation was that mental/psychological condition would be first and physical impacts secondary. I'm a layperson and don't know what is normal for prognosis in psychology. Joja lozzo 02:32, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note #13

'There are a variety of reasons and risk factors' This statement is obviously true, almost to the point of tautology. The issue I have is the title of the paper it is sourced from. Schizophrenics kill themselves tooCaldwell CB,Gottesman II. 1990. I am aware that academics within this subject have to go to extraordinary lengths to be heard but this in my opinion goes way too far. Kill themselves too implies to me at least that Schizophrenics routinely kill other people. This we know is certainly not the case and we know that as a fact(This type of crime is actually more often committed by individuals with no physical or mental conditions or have a diagnosis prior to the crime)Secondly because the title is not specific it would be possible to infer that people with this illness are capable of almost anything and suicide. I should like to know more about this and until then I will continue in my belief that Psychology is not a science. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OctaQuark (talk • contribs) 11:58, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
