Which don’t?

I'm not sure it says, but:

Major depression, 72%
PTSD, 57%
Bipolar disorder, 61%
Panic disorder, 50%
Phobic anxiety, 70%
Schizophrenia, nearly 100%

...suggests that schizophrenia is 2x more dangerous for heart health than panic disorder. So at the very least, some may be much 'safer' than others.

The title of this press release implies causation, but the data only shows association.

This is something the writer clearly understands, with the below comment

Additionally, the report emphasizes a bidirectional relationship. “More than 40% of those with cardiovascular disease also have a mental health condition,” adds Vaccarino.

So we have a strong association, but we don’t know the cause. So it’s possible that having cardiovascular risk, could cause mental illness. The reverse of the title implication

Well I appreciate a press office isn’t the most nuanced of commentators, they should at least make a call towards better metabolic health as the takeaway.
