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

Neurobiological mechanisms in addictive and psychiatric disorders
TL;DR: The studies reviewed indicate that brain stress system play an important role in the acquisition and maintenance of drugs of abuse that target the brain's reward centers, and there is a very high comorbidity between depression and drug dependence.

The pursuit of socially modifiable contingencies in mental health.
TL;DR: Findings support the conclusion that differences in exposure to social stress represent a much more critical contingency in mental health and substance use outcomes than has generally been assumed.

triADD: the risk for alcohol abuse, depression, and diabetes multimorbidity in the American Indian and Alaska Native populations.
TL;DR: Results indicate that AI/ANs are at elevated risk for the individual and combined presence of triADD when compared to the White population, and the need for further investigation and prevention focused on effective, culturally appropriate interventions with these populations.

Substance Use and Substance Use Disorders
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply a developmental psychopathology perspective to the literature on substance use and substance use disorders, and describe multiple biopsychosocial pathways of risk, including those that are broad and not specific to substance use (i.e., externalizing and internalizing pathways) and those that were specific to substances use effects.

Level of Burden Among Women Diagnosed with Severe Mental Illness and Substance Abuse
TL;DR: Examination of issues for women with multiple vulnerabilities in a sample of 577 women participating in a residential substance abuse treatment program found there was an interaction between time in program and severe mental illness such that women with severemental illness who were retained for less than 180 days were more likely to demonstrate negative outcomes.

TL;DR: The prevalence of psychiatric disorders is greater than previously thought to be the case, and morbidity is more highly concentrated than previously recognized in roughly one sixth of the population who have a history of three or more comorbid disorders.

Posttraumatic stress disorder in the National Comorbidity Survey.
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.
