Does substance use precipitate the onset of functional psychosis?
- Authors:
- TAYLOR Dawn, WARNER Richard
- Journal article citation:
- Social Work and Social Sciences Review, 5(1), 1994, pp.64-75.
- Publisher:
- Whiting and Birch
Clinical and substance use information was gathered on 55 community-based patients with functional psychosis. Most schizophrenic subject began the use of marijuana or hallucinogens in the year of onset of illness or earlier, but began the use of stimulants after onset. This pattern of first use was not true for bipolar subjects. After controlling for age, age of onset of psychosis was no earlier in subjects who began substance use before developing psychosis. The findings fail to confirm substance use as a precipitant of functional psychosis, but suggest that patients use substances for self-control of prepsychotic and post psychotic symptoms.

Compares the annual incidence of psychosis in people from different ethnic groups as defined in the 1991 census. Concludes that raised incidences of schizophrenia were not specific to Afro-Caribbeans, and suggests that the current focus on schizophrenia in this population is misleading. Members of all ethnic minority groups were more likely to develop a psychosis but not necessarily schizophrenia. The personal and social pressures of belonging to any ethnic minority group in Britain are important determinants of psychotic disorders found.
