People talk about how schizophrenics are more likely to smoke marijuana...and that marijuana users are more likely to get schizophrenia. I don't think there are enough studies, but from what I've seen, it seems that both are true. If a person is schizophrenic and is trying to use marijuana to escape, I think it is a mistake. If they are most-certainly on prescriptions to help with irrational thinking and hallucinations, another chemical is just making their body even more 'confused'. And when the person is alcoholic on top, it can be chaos.

Do untreated schizophrenics develop dementia?

Untreated schizophrenia does not directly cause dementia, but individuals with schizophrenia may experience cognitive decline and other symptoms that can resemble dementia. Chronic untreated schizophrenia can lead to a deterioration in cognitive functioning, which may be mistaken for or contribute to dementia-like symptoms. Additionally, some studies suggest a higher risk of developing neurocognitive disorders in individuals with schizophrenia, particularly if they have a history of substance abuse or other comorbid conditions. Overall, while there is a relationship between schizophrenia and cognitive decline, they are distinct conditions.
