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: Substance use disorders and mood and anxiety disorders that develop independently of intoxication and withdrawal are among the most prevalent psychiatric disorders in the United States, suggesting that treatment for a comorbid mood or anxiety disorder should be withheld from individuals with substance use disorders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present nationally representative data on the prevalence of 12-month DSM-IV alcohol abuse and dependence in 2001-2002 and examine trends in alcohol abuse between 1991-1992 and 2001- 2002.

Chronic Stress, Drug Use, and Vulnerability to Addiction
TL;DR: The effects of regular and chronic drug use on alterations in these stress and motivational systems are reviewed, with specific attention to the impact of these adaptations on stress regulation, impulse control, and perpetuation of compulsive drug seeking and relapse susceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
How does stress increase risk of drug abuse and relapse
TL;DR: Empirical evidence on how stress may increase the vulnerability to drug abuse is examined, and whether chronic drug abuse alters the stress response and coping in addicts, thereby increasing the likelihood of drug seeking and relapse is explored.

Prevalence and Correlates of Drug Use and Dependence in the United States: Results From the National Comorbidity Survey
TL;DR: Use and dependence were found to be more common in cohorts born after World War II than those born before the end of the war and these, in turn, differed from the predictors of recent dependence among people with a lifetime history of dependence.

TL;DR: A cohort difference in 12-month MDE is found, with older women much more likely than older men to have recurrent episodes, and this sex difference in recurrence plays an important part in the elevated 12- month prevalence of depression among women compared to men in the 45-54 age range.

Alcohol Dependence and Anxiety Disorders: What Is the Relationship?
TL;DR: The available data, while imperfect, do not prove a close relationship between life-long anxiety disorders and alcohol dependence, and prospective studies of children of alcoholics and individuals from the general population do not indicate a high rate of anxiety disorders preceding alcohol dependence.

TL;DR: Research findings suggest a major role for substance use in the etiology and prognosis of psychiatric disorders such as affective disorders, conduct disorder and antisocial personality disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and anxiety disorders.
