TLDR
General population data from the National Comorbidity Survey are presented on co-occurring DSM-III-R addictive and mental disorders, with the finding that fewer than half of cases with 12-monthCo-occurrence received any treatment in the year prior to interview suggests the need for greater outreach efforts.Abstract:
General population data from the National Comorbidity Survey are presented on co-occurring DSM-III-R addictive and mental disorders. Co-occurrence is highly prevalent in the general population and usually due to the association of a primary mental disorder with a secondary addictive disorder. It is associated with a significantly increased probability of treatment, although the finding that fewer than half of cases with 12-month co-occurrence received any treatment in the year prior to interview suggests the need for greater outreach efforts.read more

TL;DR: The total number of unmet needs was positively correlated with the severity of manic symptoms (YMRS score) and negatively correlation with the level of social relationships (social domain of WHOQOL), functioning (GAF) score, and social support (Tangible Support subscale of the ISEL).

TL;DR: The correlations between heroin use, mood and psychiatric disorders, and their chronology in the context of dual diagnosis suggest that self-medication theory can be applied only for chronic psychoses, but should not be applied to patients with mood disorders using heroin.

TL;DR: Progress in estimating age-at-onset distributions, cohort effects, and the conditional probabilities of PTSD from different types of trauma will require future epidemiologic studies to assess PTSD for all lifetime traumas rather than for only a small number of retrospectively reported "most serious" traumAs.
