2 Causes of Schizoaffective Disorder
Substance Abuse
There is a causal link between schizoaffective disorder and drug abuse. Those people who consume cannabis, drink alcohol, or smoke tends to be at a higher risk of developing this condition. The more often these substances are taken in, the earlier the onset of psychotic symptoms can be. At the same time, schizoaffective disorder would lead to depression and mental issues. These conditions, in turn, would cause social withdrawal and increase the use of substances for pleasure. [7]
