How to detect whether alcoholic or schizophrenic or both?
human
I am diagnosed with schizophrenia since 1998. I am taking 1. ARIP MT 20 mg 2. zapiz 0.5 mg 3. Lopez 2 mg per day. I also go to Alcoholics Anonymous since 2000. I was told that my symptoms were same as of alcoholism, that i was suffering from untreated alcoholism rather that schizophrenia. How do i find whether I am alcoholic or schizophrenic or both?
