چکیده
Examines the causes and effects of stimulant and nicotine usage in schizophrenics. Compares three schools of thought on the smoking-schizophrenia connection: smoking causes schizophrenia; smoking out of boredom; smoking to ameliorate side effects of medications. Considers the shortcomings of current treatment modalities in drug abuse and smoking cessation where psychotic clients are concerned. Discusses possible solutions for problems related to smoking and stimulant abuse in schizophrenics for the future, including medication advances.
