Endogenous and Antipsychotic-Related Risks for Diabetes Mellitus in Young People With Schizophrenia: A Danish Population-Based Cohort Study

Abstract

Schizophrenia confers a high endogenous risk for diabetes, and the risk is further increased by both first-generation and second-generation antipsychotics. Early detection and effective treatment of diabetes should be an integral part of multidisciplinary management of schizophrenia regardless of antipsychotic drug exposure.
