needed to conduct the study. Each patient was rated on the severity of schizophrenia by Malay's version of Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale, and the Malay version of Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence. Patients that were not included in the study were patients that had another substance use disorder, organic mental disorder, retardation, have an unstable medical condition, and unable to work with researchers. The scale was conducted in…
These certain drugs are classified as having a high potential for abuse, are currently accepted for medical use, and may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence. Class III, includes anabolic steroids,…
or BI polar II were used for the study. A total of 418 were recruited from departments of psychiatry in France and 169 were recruited from three psychiatric hospitals in Norway for comparison. A comparison analysis was conducted to examine the correlation between childhood trauma and substance abuse.
