“…[9] A review article from Indian studies on the prevalence of various psychiatric co-morbidities among AUDs have reported that mood, anxiety, psychotic, and psychosexual disorders are commonly co-prevalent with AUDs. [10] Studies on the effect of age at onset of drinking on AUDs and their severity are quiet numerous in western research; however, similar studies are sparse and limited in Indian research.

CONTEXTEarly onset of alcohol use is a major public health concern in terms of its impact on adolescent morbidity and mortality. AIMComparative study of early and late onset alcohol dependent patients with their correlates such as demographics, family history of alcohol dependence, severity of dependence, and alcohol-induced psychiatric disorders. SETTINGS AND DESIGNCross-sectional descriptive study conducted in the Department of Psychiatry, Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute. MATERIALS AND METHODSA cross-sectional assessment was done in two groups of 50 patients each. Patients with age at onset of alcoholic dependence less than 25 years were allocated to the early onset group and those patients with age at onset of dependence more than 25 years were allocated to the late onset group. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS:The data thus collected was analysed using SPSS version 14. RESULTSThe study demonstrated a statistically significant difference pertaining to the duration and severity of alcohol dependence, which was more in patients with early onset alcohol dependence when compared to the late onset group. In addition to this, family history of alcohol dependence was positive in more patients belonging to the early onset group. However, there was no significant difference in the prevalence of alcohol-induced psychiatric disorders between the two groups. CONCLUSIONThis study demonstrates that the severity and duration of alcohol dependence was significantly more in patients with early onset alcohol dependence.

“…In previous Indian studies, 26-71 per cent patients with substance use disorders were found to suffer from co-morbid depressive disorders and 10-45 per cent from anxiety disorders. However, these studies were conducted on treatment seeking population34. Hence, patients with substance use disorders need to be actively screened for psychiatric disorders for timely diagnosis and management of co-morbid conditions, especially depression.…”

Background & objectives: Substance use disorders are a major public health concern in Punjab. However, reliable estimates of prevalence of substance use disorders are not available for the State. The present study reports estimates of prevalence of substance use disorders in Punjab, conducted as part of National Mental Health Survey, India. Methods: Using multistage stratified random cluster sampling, 2895 individuals from 719 households of 60 clusters (from 4 districts of Punjab) were interviewed. Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview and Fagerstrom nicotine dependence scale were used to assess substance use disorders. Results: The sample comprised almost equal numbers of males and females. Nearly 80 per cent had less than or equal to high school education, and 70 per cent were married. The weighted prevalence of alcohol and other substance use disorders was 7.9 and 2.48 per cent, respectively. The prevalence of tobacco dependence was 5.5 per cent; 35 per cent households had one person with substance use disorder. The prevalence was highest in the productive age group (30-39 yr), urban metro and less educated persons. The prevalence of alcohol and other substance use disorders was much higher in Punjab as compared to other States where survey was done. Tobacco dependence was lowest in Punjab. Majority (87%) of the persons with substance use disorders did not suffer from any other mental disorder. Treatment gap was 80 per cent. Interpretation & conclusions: Punjab has a high burden of substance use disorders. The estimates will help clinicians and policymakers to plan the strategies against the menace of substance use disorders effectively.
