Abstract

AIMS: Little is known about the differential effects of independent and substance-induced major depression on the longitudinal course of alcohol, cocaine and heroin disorders when studied prospectively. DESIGN: Consecutively admitted in-patients, evaluated at baseline, 6-, 12- and 18-month follow-ups. SETTING: Baseline evaluations in a short-stay in-patient urban community psychiatric hospital unit. PARTICIPANTS: Adults (n = 250) with current DSM-IV cocaine, heroin and/or alcohol dependence at baseline. MEASUREMENTS: The Psychiatric Research Interview for Substance and Mental Disorders (PRISM), used to evaluate independent and substance-induced major depression, alcohol, cocaine and heroin dependence, and other psychiatric disorders. Outcomes for each substance: (i) time (weeks) from hospital discharge to first use; (ii) time from discharge to onset of sustained (≥26 weeks) remission from dependence; (iii) time from onset of sustained remission to relapse. FINDINGS: Substance-induced major depression significantly predicted post-discharge use of alcohol, cocaine and heroin (hazard ratios 4.7, 5.3 and 6.5, respectively). Among patients achieving stable remissions from dependence, independent major depression predicted relapse to alcohol and cocaine dependence (hazard ratios 2.3 and 2.7, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Substance-induced and independent major depressions were both related to post-discharge use of alcohol, cocaine and heroin. The findings suggest the importance of clinical attention to both types of depression in substance abusing patients.

  • Untreated MDD among individuals with AUD can have profound consequences.

    “Left untreated, MDD among individuals with AUD can have profound consequences [65].”

    From Navigating the Complex Intersection of Substance Use and Psychiatric Disorders: A Comprehensive Review (2024) · cites this paper as [65]

    The Discussion reports that MDD increased relapse risk among patients with alcohol dependence, supporting the claim that it can have serious consequences. But the study did not establish those consequences specifically for untreated MDD: it controlled for treatment and did not analyze depression-treatment status in detail.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
