Is it good Idea to quit smoking when you are diagnosed Psychosis(not otherwise s!


Question: Illicit drugs such as marijuana and crack/cocaine are likely a bad idea, and may contribute to/trigger psychotic episodes. Alcohol can often be a problem as well, especially if you have more than a couple drinks in one sitting. Tobacco in moderation is not typically viewed as a problem for individuals with a diagnosis of a psychotic disorder (though it has many other negative health risks associated with it). Actually, probably more people with a psychotic disorder smoke than don't for whatever reason (some say it calms them down).

So tobacco probably isn't a big deal. Avoid illicit drugs and alcohol, however.
