SUD sometimes form as a way of coping with co-occurring disorders; “statistics show that nearly half of all people with a severe mental disorder are affected by substance abuse, and 29% of all people diagnosed as mental ill abuse either alcohol or drugs. Without proper diagnosis and treatment, mental health issues can be painful and difficult to cope with, which is why many people with mental health problems use substances to feel better” (Casa Plamera, 2009). Some co-occurring disorders are sometimes overlooked because some of the symptoms of mental disorders resemble the symptoms of substance abuse, such as: depression, anxiety, insomnia, paranoia, visual and auditory hallucinations, mania and violent behavior (Casa Plamera,
For example, some of the well known facts are that schizophrenia tends to begin in men/boys at an earlier age than women/girls; men who have schizophrenia generally begin showing signs of the illness between ages 15 and 20, compared to ages 20 to 25 for women. Additionally, men overall are less responsive to medication and schizophrenia also tends to have a larger impact on men than on women - the long term outcome tends to be worse for men than women. Researchers have hypothesized that estrogen may play a protective role in women against schizophrenia. Recent research also tends to suggest that schizophrenia is more prevalent in men than women - with women developing schizophrenia at a rate of approximately 50% to 75% that of men, overall. Women, however, have a rate of developing schizophrenia almost twice that of men for people over the age of 45 years.

Kolwalski, D. Westen, 2011).

This research seems to support the research provided in the study of Wong and colleagues regarding Early Intervention for Psychotic Disorders, (2012). It appears that many researchers are truly engulfed in the methodology of early intervention in terms of treatment. The study showed that schizophrenia was the most disabling of the mental illnesses and the most life impacting. The research done in the study Psychosocial treatment for first-episode psychosis showed that psychosocial and pharmacological treatment early on provided better results that if implemented later on, (Penn et al, 2005).
