Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
L'étude de la consommation de drogues, durant 1 mois, chez 104 patients psychiatriques hospitalisés, montre une relation inverse entre la fréquence d'usage de drogue et le diagnostic d'une schizophrénie. Environ 1/3 des patients sont polytoxicomanes; la cocaïne étant la drogue la plus utilisée journellement. Il apparait que la toxicomanie et en particulier la polytoxicomanie est en augmentation chez les patients psychiatriques.
ENGLISH :
The drug use history was obtained for all patients admitted to the impatient service of a large municipal hospital during a 1 month period. A total of 104 patients were evaluated. An inverse relationship was found between the frequency of drug use and the diagnosis of schizophrenia. Approximately one third of the patients were found to be polydrug users. The drug having the highest frequency of daily use was found to be cocaine. It appears that drug use in general and polydrug use in particular is increasing among psychiatric patients.
