My first psychosis was drug induced when I was 16/17

Then it wasn’t after the first time

There was about a three year hiatus before it returned and kicked my ass

Drugs were not the cause from then

I never did drugs. My sz diagnosis is genetic - my grandmother had it.

I think they hastened the onset. Certainly a big factor. But would be an injustice to call them the cause
