Among the mental disorders listed, anorexia nervosa is known to have the highest mortality rate. Research indicates that individuals with anorexia have a significantly higher risk of death compared to those with other mental disorders, often due to the severe health complications associated with malnutrition and the disorder itself. While alcohol use disorders can also be serious and lead to premature death, studies consistently show that anorexia has a higher percentage of mortality among mental health conditions.
