Researchers want to understand how alcohol and substance use affect people living with serious mental illnesses like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. They'll compare people who have both a severe mental illness and substance use problems with people who have a severe mental illness but no substance use issues, looking at how each group recovers, stays connected to others, and benefits from treatment.
People with serious mental illness are more likely to struggle with alcohol and drug use, but researchers don't fully understand how this combination affects their recovery and their ability to stay connected to family, friends, and community. This study will help doctors understand this connection better so they can provide better support.

This is not a treatment study—it's purely observational, meaning you're not taking any new medication or receiving a new treatment.
