| Popis: | A retrospective chart review of 2 years of admissions (1995-1996) for alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence patients on an inpatient substance abuse unit showed the prevalence of comorbid affective disorders, personality disorders/subsyndromal personality traits, and the combination of all three diagnoses to be 8.2, 17.5, and 9.6%, respectively. The available literature on these additional diagnoses in substance abusers is reviewed and compared with the findings of the current study. Patients identified for inpatient substance abuse treatment need full psychiatric evaluation for other Axis I and Axis II comorbidity that may greatly affect their treatment plans and clinical prognoses. |
