Is it possible that psychotic people tend to self medicate more with it?
- DanBC 9y agoYes, there's complex two way links. But we're pretty sure that there's a causal action too. Having said that, alcohol misuse causes pretty severe psychosis too. Here's a nice article: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0004867415598013 http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/000486741559801... There are more recent articles describing the mechanism that causes people with psychosis to smoke much more tobacco than the general population.
