It&#8217;s a psychiatric disorder that occurs in about 1 in 100 people, and the symptoms appears between the ages of 35 and 45 years.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Having psychosis is a very distressing thing \u2013 hearing voices, having delusions,\u201d said Dr James MacCabe from King\u2019s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, also the lead researcher.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8936035152699800\" data-ad-slot=\"1530943179\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The subjects were asked to fill out a questionnaire that included questions about their lifestyle, diet, smoking and alcohol consumption. Their genetic predisposition and family history were also taken into account by the scientists.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The argument goes, why wouldn\u2019t people smoke to alleviate the distress? They might hope it would help with the symptoms and their impaired thinking processes and possibly counter the side-effects of antipsychotic drugs, James said.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Read also &gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologyandi.com\/10-before-and-after-photos-of-celebrities-that-were-broken-by-drugs\/\">5 Before And After Photos of Celebrities That Were Broken By Drugs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The researchers found out that daily smokers had an increased risk of Schizophrenia. Record also have it that more than half &#8211; 57% &#8211; of people arriving at mental health services were smokers, and that they experienced psychosis one year earlier than non-smokers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Researchers also express some biological reasons why schizophrenia could be linked to smoking i.e. nicotine exposure, by increasing the release of dopamine, causes psychotic illnesses such as schizophrenia to develop.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>While it is always hard to determine the direction of causality, our findings indicate that smoking should be taken seriously as a possible risk factor for developing psychosis, and not dismissed simply as a consequence of the illness,\u201d said MacCabe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Read also &gt; <a
