title: Multimorbidity and mental health: can psychiatry rise to the challenge?
abstract: Multimorbidity--the co-occurrence of two or more long-term conditions in an individual - is highly relevant to psychiatry. Changes to training and a more integrated model of psychiatric and physical healthcare are needed in the future if we are to improve the long-term health of our patients.
