What are they dying of?

Everybody always immediately goes to suicide.

Oh, those mentally ill people must be killing themselves, and that's why.

Well, yes, it is true that people with mental illness are more likely to die

take their life, and if a 20-year-old commits suicide, that is going to skew the statistic down in terms of the average age of death.

But that is not at all the primary cause of death.

The primary cause of death in the mentally ill is the same that it is in everyone else.

It's heart attacks and strokes, but it's occurring about 10 years earlier in life.

So a lot of people have kind of a simplistic notion of metabolism.

They think that, you know, the probably more common

or the more popular kind of definition is it's burning calories because we think about it as it relates to our weight.

And if you're burning a lot of calories, then you can have a quote unquote fast metabolism.

And these are the people who can eat anything they want, anything in sight, and they never gain any weight and they must just be burning through it.

And then there are people purportedly who have a slow metabolism and they're not burning calories and they can eat salads once a day and they're gaining five pounds a week because their metabolism is just so slow.

No matter what they do, they can't lose weight.

So burning calories is absolutely part of metabolism and is a critical part of metabolism.

But metabolism is so much more than that.

So I would offer this kind of relatively overview definition.

which is metabolism is the process of taking food, water, oxygen, and turning it into energy or building blocks that are used to make cells or make hormones or make neurotransmitters or create bone or anything.

So essentially, when we eat food, it gets turned into one of two things.
