Substance Induced Mental Disorder

Substance-induced disorders are conditions or illnesses that are caused by substance use. They are different from “co-occurring” or “dual diagnosis” substance use disorders in that the mental impairment is not present in conjunction with a substance use disorder (as found in cases of co-occurring conditions), but it is instead directly caused by the substance use itself.

Causes and Risk Factors for Substance-Induced Psychotic Disorder

  • A traumatic brain injury or stroke
  • A family or personal history of schizophrenia, mood disorders, or psychotic disorders.
  • Side effects of certain prescription medications.
  • Dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease.
  • Brain tumors, lesions, or cysts.
  • Genetic abnormalities
