Background The causality between mental disorders and spontaneous non-traumatic cerebral hemorrhage (NCH) has not been sufficiently explored. This study aims to investigate the associations of a broad spectrum of 16 mental disorders with NCH through Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis and to assess the association in a real-world study. Methods Univariate analysis and mediational MR analysis were employed to investigate the potential association between mental disorders and NCH. Genetic instruments associated with mental disorders were identified through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using the FinnGen database of European populations. Furthermore, the MR results were corroborated based on the real population (MIMIC-IV database). The correlation between mental disorders and the risk of NCH was examined using logistic regression models, which progressively added confounding factors for adjustments. Results Univariate MR analysis showed that genetically predicted dementia was significantly associated with NCH (OR = 1.090, 95% CI [1.049–1.133], p = 1.16 × 10 −5 ); However, no statistically significant associations were observed between NCH and other mental disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, Lewy body dementia, depression, eating disorders, gender identity disorder, habit and impulse disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, persistent mood disorders, phobic anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, sleep disorders, somatoform disord...
