INTJ - 5w6

Dr. Schulz is co-founder of the biennial International Congress on Schizophrenia Research and his current research focuses on brain imaging and biomarkers relating to schizophrenia and/or bipolar illness. Although substance use disorders often co-occur with other mental health and medical disorders, you do not have to already have a mental disorder to start using drugs and later become addicted to them. There is a high probability that you will develop a mental disorder - or display some symptoms of mental imbalance - once you have developed a substance use disorder. Almost everyone who is addicted to alcohol or drugs will display these mental health disorders at one level or the other. This is largely as a result of the fact that addictive substances cause certain chemical imbalances in the human brain. With regards to schizophrenia, it is important that you are able to tell the difference between schizophrenia that was induced by your substance abuse and actual schizophrenia.
