#32: Schizophrenia: Is it related to marijuana? What is schizophrenia? How is it treated?
08/24/21 • 41 min
#Schizophrenia is a very misunderstood mental illness. It is not "split personality" (or dissociative identity disorder), but rather a chronic, long-standing (6+ month) pattern of delusions, hallucinations, disorganized behavior, etc. There are #genetic risks to developing the illness and #cannabis likely increases risk. According to the "Dunedin" study, Archives of General Psychiatry 2000, those who used cannabis at age 15 were 4x more likely to develop schizophrenia or schizophreniform disorder.
