Yes, but WHY is their health so much worse than the general population? There are probably a lot of contributing factors, but my thought is that a whole lot is due to demoralization (and I don't mean lack of morals). I think that this demoralization (if that is what it is) is due partly to unsuccessful treatment due to the profession not even understanding the actual causes of the illnesses. And I think the actual causes are to be found in people's lives and not in "chemical imbalances" (where do the "imbalances" come from?) or cat viruses or whatever can be found to avoid paying attention to their real lives.
