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

Multimorbidity of psychiatric disorders as an indicator of clinical severity
TL;DR: The results confirm the link between comorbidity and severity demonstrated in several previous studies and show that there is a direct increase in nearly all of the indicators of severity by the number of disorders for which the subjects met criteria across 15 years.
