The term “comorbidity” describes two or more disorders or illnesses occurring in the same person. They can occur at the same time or one after the other. Comorbidity also implies interactions between the illnesses that can worsen the course of both. 

Many individuals who develop substance use disorders (SUD) are also diagnosed with mental disorders, and vice versa. 

A report produced by NIDA provides definitions, treatment options and barriers that might prevent people receiving the help they need, and the infographic summarises data on the comorbidity between substance use and mental...

Highlights

  • Negative and positive mood differentially impact alcohol use in males and females.
  • Previous research did not differentiate impact of mood states vs lifetime diagnoses.
  • This study confirmed positive association of mood with alcohol use in both sexes.
  • Yet, in alcoholic men, MDD correlated negatively with the frequency of alcohol use.
  • This difference should be accounted for in clinical practice and research.

Abstract

Background

We assessed the impact of comorbid depression and anxiety disorders as well as positive and negative emotional states on alcohol consumption in...

Abstract

Background

Studies throughout Europe have shown that asylum-seeking children and adolescents (ASC) are at risk of developing mental disorders. The most common mental-health problems in ASC include posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), internalizing symptoms such as depression and anxiety, and externalizing behaviour. Being an unaccompanied refugee minor (URM) was found to be highly predictive for higher levels of psychological distress within ASC. Nevertheless, and even though Germany is Europe’s biggest host country for ASC, studies that reliably examine the mental health of both...

Cognitive and Mindfulness‐based therapy for adolescents with co‐occurring post‐traumatic stress and substance use disorder

Fortuna, Lisa R., Michelle V. Porche, and Auralyd Padilla. "A treatment development study of a cognitive and mindfulness‐based therapy for adolescents with co‐occurring post‐traumatic stress and substance use disorder." Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice 91, no. 1 (2018): 42-62.

Early life experiences of trauma are known to significantly increase the risk of substance use in adolescence and adulthood. It has been suggested that individuals may use alcohol or drugs as a means of temporarily relieving themselves from psychological distress, however this can lead to increased emotional dysregulation in the long term.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for adolescent suffering from PTSD and SUDs focuses on developing awareness of unhelpful thought patterns and cognitive restructuring. 

Results suggest feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for adolescents with PTSD, depression, and substance use.
Results suggest feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for adolescents with PTSD, depression, and substance use.
