๐Ÿ’‰๐Ÿง  The link between Type 2 Diabetes and Mental Health:
Type 2 diabetes increases the risk of developing schizophrenia later in life by 50%.

A new study, led by our very own Prof. Stephen Levine, together with Prof. Arad Kodesh from the Department of Community Mental Health and Meuhedet Health Services, and Prof. Abraham Reichenberg from the Department of Psychiatry at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York , examined whether being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in midlife raises the likelihood of schizophrenia in later years.

Published in Schizophrenia Bulletin, the study found that people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes are at a 50% higher risk of developing schizophrenia compared to those without diabetes.
The findings are based on a 15-year follow-up of tens of thousands of Israelis ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ and reveal a surprising link between a common metabolic disorder and one of the most severe psychiatric illnesses.

Our Story

Join the next generation of global public health leaders! The University of Haifaโ€™s International Masterโ€™s Program in Health Systems Administration and Global Health Leadership is dedicated to providing students with a strong foundation from which to critically examine current global health challenges. The next generation of health care leaders will need to understand the multifaceted nature of society and how it relates to public health issues. They will also need to have sophisticated leadership skills to serve an ever more complex society, and to manage cross-cutting, multi-sectoral, top-down and bottom-up comprehensive programs, within and beyond the health services. In an increasingly integrated world marked by growing disparity, public health leaders will need to be aware of how global and national forces affect health within and between national borders. The Global Health Leadership and Administration program nurtures high levels of sophistication, excellent communication skills, and a deep knowledge of public health and global health, as well as prepares future practitioners and researchers for leadership roles in settings across the globe. The one-year program is taught in English over three consecutive semesters from October through September. Students have the option of completing a thesis at no additional cost, which may take an additional year of study either in Haifa or in their home country.
