Summary

This study looks at how alcohol and substance use affect people with severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Researchers compare those who also have substance use problems with those who do not, measuring things like hospitalizations, medication needs, employment, and social exclusion. The goal is to understand whether substance use makes it harder for people to stay connected and recover.
