“…According to Day and Leonard [31] LSD consumption for example is much more common in the USA, with 20-25% of young adults between 18 and 25 years old having tried it. This result, however, disproves the hypothesis of McLellan et al [32], who had given special significance to theses substances for schizophrenics with substance abuse.…”

“…There is greater variability of sub stances, more multiple abuse, usually dependent on sub stance availability or the difficulty in supplying the sub stance. The hypothesis of consumption of a specific sub stance [32] can therefore not be confirmed by this study. The quantity of consumption is usually less and therefore leads to less somatic disorders than in patients with an addiction disorder only.…”

The coincidence of substance abuse and schizophrenia is about 47% according to US American studies. European studies on the prevalence, consumption, behaviour and pattern are rare. Using a representative sample of the psychiatric patients in a large German city, a comparable lifetime prevalence of substance abuse was shown among schizophrenics. Substances consumed were mainly alcohol and cannabis. A specific consumption of substances could not be confirmed.

“…McClellan and Druley 6 report significant relationships between specific drugs of abuse and psychiatric diagnoses. In another study, 7 it was noted that the majority of substance‐abusing subjects used combinations of drugs that had similar psychological effects. It is also known that chronic abuse of alcohol or street drugs can powerfully affect major CNS neurotransmitters and that specific alterations in neurotransmitter systems are correlated with psychiatric disorders 8 .…”

The authors studied 89 alcohol‐ or cocaine‐dependent inpatients for comorbid Axis I or Axis II psychiatric disorders. Subjects were administered the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐III‐R (SCID) to determine Axis I diagnoses. Axis II diagnoses were determined using the SCID II self‐rating questionnaire and interview. High rates of Axis I disorders were found in both groups, but the types of disorders differed between groups. Axis II disorders were also commonly found in both groups but were significantly more common in the cocaine group. The types of personality disorders differed between the alcohol and cocaine groups, with the cocaine group showing significantly more Axis II Cluster A and B diagnoses.

“…How ever. in our sample the substances were not specifically targeted for consumption, as proposed by McLellan and Druley [33] and McLellan et al [34], and patients showed no preference for amphetamines, hallucinogenics. etc.…”

In a 3-month epidemiologic survey at the Psychiatric Clinic of the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf, a total of 372 patients between 18 and 60 years of age were screened with a variety of clinical psychiatric tests. Of the entire group, a subgroup of 180 patients was placed into one of four index groups: schizophrenics with first-rank symptoms and with (n = 47) or without (n = 52) concomitant past or acute use of psychotropic substances; alcoholics (n = 63), and patients with alcoholic psychosis (n = 18). In almost all areas examined, the group of schizophrenics with substance abuse was revealed to be a severely disturbed subgroup of schizophrenics with a long history of disease. Particularly with respect to psychopathology, there was an increase in depressive and suicidal tendencies.
