- The study compared mental disorder risks between patients with cannabis use disorder (CUD) and those with other substance use disorders (SUDs).
- Adult patients with noncomorbid CUD had a lower risk of schizophrenia, depression, and psychotic disorders compared to those with other SUDs.
- Pediatric patients with CUD had a higher risk of schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety disorders compared to those with other SUDs.
- Adult patients with CUD and a comorbid SUD had a decreased risk of schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders compared to those with other SUDs.
- CUD-associated mental health risks varied by age and comorbid SUDs, possibly due to earlier onset of mental disorders in cannabis users or age-related differences in CUD effects.
