  5 47    a.  "Co-morbidity" means the coexistence of
  5 48 conditions or diagnosable disorders such as
  5 49 neurobiological disorders and substance abuse.  For
  5 50 purposes of this section, "substance abuse" means a
  6  1 pattern of pathological use of alcohol or a drug that
  6  2 causes impairment in social or occupational
  6  3 functioning, or that produces physiological dependency
  6  4 evidenced by physical tolerance or by physical
  6  5 symptoms when the alcohol or drug is withdrawn.

  6  7    (1)  Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

  6 33 benefits for treatment for neurobiological disorders

  6 44 co-morbidity and other health or medical conditions
  6 45 under a policy, contract, or plan.  A policy,
  6 46 contract, or plan subject to this section shall not
  6 47 impose an aggregate lifetime or annual limit on
  6 48 treatment for neurobiological disorders and underlying
  6 49 co-morbidity coverage benefits unless the policy,
  6 50 contract, or plan imposes an aggregate lifetime or
  7  1 annual limit on substantially all health or medical
  7  2 coverage benefits.  A policy, contract, or plan
  7  3 subject to this section that imposes an aggregate
  7  4 lifetime or annual limit on substantially all medical
