Abstract
Around 50% of patients with schizophrenia develop a co-occurring substance use disorder involving alcohol or illicit substances at some time during their lives. The comorbid substance abuse will markedly affect the course of illness of schizophrenia. In this article, the authors review the epidemiology, theories of causation, effect on the course of illness, and treatment of co-occurring schizophrenia and substance use disorder.Entities:
