A recent report from Teesside University in Middlesbrough, United Kingdom, highlights the issue of food insecurity in adults with severe mental illness living in Northern England. The research found that individuals with mental illness are more likely to experience food insecurity, which can lead to various health problems. The study conducted peer-led interviews with adults with severe mental illness, revealing that food insecurity is often a long-standing issue influenced by factors such as unemployment, the cost of living, and limited access to food banks. The research suggests that addressing barriers to accessing food and improving the nutritional quality of available food should be prioritized to tackle food insecurity in this population.
