The co morbidity of substance dependence and psychiatric
disorders is common. This co morbidity complicates the diagnosis and
treatment of both types of disorders and causes a lot of complications and
bad consequences. There is a great deal of co
morbidity between substance
abuse, including alcohol, and other psychiatric disorders such as mood
disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and personality
disorders.
The objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of each substance
dependence and its co morbidity with other psychiatric disorders because
this co morbidity has many significant psychiatric and social problems.
