Schizophrenia is increasingly affecting young people. A expert warns of the impact of psychoactive substances.
The average age of onset for schizophrenia is just 17–25 years. A growing number of studies also point to a concerning link between prior use of psychoactive substances and the development of psychotic disorders. 📊
"In recent years, we have seen a dramatic rise in schizophrenia patients who previously used psychoactive substances," emphasizes Dr. Paweł Krukow, Head of the Department of Clinical Neuropsychiatry at the Medical University of Lublin. 🧠
In an interview for *Alma Mater*, the expert explains:
🔹 what schizophrenia is and what its early symptoms are,
🔹 why the disease most often manifests in young adults,
🔹 the impact psychoactive substances have on its development,
🔹 what diagnosis and modern treatment entail,
🔹 and how to effectively support those living with the condition.

Schizofrenia coraz częściej dotyka młodych ludzi. Ekspert ostrzega przed wpływem substancji psychoaktywnych

Średni wiek zachorowania na schizofrenię to zaledwie 17–25 lat. Coraz więcej badań wskazuje również na niepokojący związek między wcześniejszym używaniem substancji psychoaktywnych a rozwojem zaburzeń psychotycznych. 📊

– W ostatnich latach widzimy radykalny przyrost pacjentów ze schizofrenią, którzy wcześniej przyjmowali środki psychoaktywne – podkreśla dr hab. n. med. Paweł Krukow, kierownik Zakładu Neuropsychiatrii Klinicznej Uniwersytetu Medycznego w Lublinie. 🧠

W rozmowie dla „Alma Mater” ekspert wyjaśnia:
🔹 czym jest schizofrenia i jakie są jej pierwsze objawy,
🔹 dlaczego choroba najczęściej ujawnia się u młodych dorosłych,
🔹 jaki wpływ na jej rozwój mają substancje psychoaktywne,
🔹 na czym polega diagnostyka i nowoczesne leczenie,
🔹 oraz jak skutecznie wspierać osoby chorujące.

Dear Students, following the air raid siren that was heard in Lublin during the night of 29–30 July, we understand that many of you and your families may have concerns about your safety.

At present, the Polish authorities have not indicated any direct threat to the safety of residents in Lublin or any need for extraordinary measures beyond the standard precautionary procedures. Medical University of Lublin is operating normally.

The activation of the siren was a precautionary measure taken as part of Poland's national warning system in response to the temporary violation of Polish airspace. Such alerts are issued to ensure public safety and do not mean that residents of Lublin are in immediate danger.The University continuously follows official information provided by the relevant Polish authorities. Should the situation change, all students will be informed promptly through the University's official communication channels.

In situations like these, we encourage all students to rely exclusively on official communications issued by the Government Security Centre (RCB), local authorities, and reliable local news media.

As part of its emergency preparedness procedures, the University has designated temporary shelters ("ukrycia doraźne") in its buildings. Although we sincerely hope they will never need to be used, we encourage all students to familiarize themselves with their locations and the applicable safety procedures

For detailed information on temporary shelters, emergency procedures, and safety instructions, please visit our website:

Please take care of yourselves, and do not hesitate to contact your Dean's Office if you have any questions or concerns.
