Abstract :In psychiatric wards, individuals with substance use disorders often share therapeutic environments with schizophrenia patients due to limited specialized care options. This interaction may lead to “Schizobeing Anxiety,” a distressing fear of developing schizophrenia, as substance users compare their psychotic episodes with schizophrenia symptoms. While this fear can motivate treatment engagement, it may also reinforce stigma and concerns about recurrent hospitalizations. This paper introduces “Schizobeing Anxiety” as a potential concept in psychiatric care, highlighting its dual role as both a motivator and a barrier in addiction treatment. Addressing this phenomenon through motivational interviewing and targeted interventions may improve treatment outcomes. Further research is needed to assess its impact on clinical practice.
