Summary

Persons affected by psychosis have a shorter life expectancy mainly due to metabolic disorders. This is partly due to the drugs but also to a sedentary life style.

It is often a life long disorder with decreased overall function and thus need of life long care, both informal and formal. It is also a highly stigmatising disorder.

We are aiming at adding peer mentor led regular physical exercise to the open care of psychosis. it is well-known that physical exercise increase overall function, decrease metabolic risk factors and increase cognition. By using educated peer mentors who will lead the exercise sessions this will have an anti-stigmatising effect and improve self-confidence.
