Screening for Substance Use Disorder in Individuals with Schizophrenia
Since substance use alone can cause psychosis, mania, depression, and cognitive impairment, it is important for all individuals displaying psychiatric symptoms to be screened for substance use.
In this article, researchers suggested that clinicians should follow these steps:
- Ask screening questions to determine the quantity, intensity, and frequency of substance use.
- Request a urine test.
- Procure self-report questionnaires or structured interviews to uncover potential needs to examine further
- Examine for negative consequences of substance use.
