“…Substance use can also compromise the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy interventions by causing serious side effects, potentiating effects of some psychotropic medications (thereby increasing risk of overdose), and decreasing adherence to medication regimens (Catz, Heckman, Kochman, & DiMarco, 2001; National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 2005). Finally, alcohol and substance use are associated with increases in suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, shifting intervention efforts to crisis management rather than other therapeutic goals (e.g., Claassen et al, 2007; Goldstein & Levitt, 2006; Shen et al, 2006).…”

The authors examined life stress and self-efficacy as predictors of time to relapse for 113 adults with comorbid major depressive disorder and alcohol and/or substance dependence in a randomized clinical trial comparing 2 psychotherapy interventions (integrated cognitive- behavioral therapy and 12-step facilitation therapy). Life stress, self-efficacy, and substance use were assessed at treatment entry, 12 weeks (mid-treatment), and 24 weeks (end of treatment). Time to relapse was defined as the number of days from treatment initiation until first alcohol and/or drug use. Half of the sample relapsed within the study period of 24 weeks. There was no significant difference between treatment groups. Individuals experiencing life stressors were more likely to relapse early than those not experiencing life stressors. Lower self-efficacy also predicted earlier relapse. Chronic stress levels and self-efficacy were stable across time for most individuals. In contrast, acute stress events occurred at differing times, and survival analyses provided evidence of heightened relapse risk in the month following acute stressors. The interaction of self-efficacy and life stress was not significant. The results highlight the significance of life stress and self-efficacy as predictors of early relapse.

“…Firearms were used in 73% of suicides committed by adults over the age of 65 (75). Older adults who are suicidal are also more likely to be divorced or widowed, living alone, and experience stressful life events (financial problems, interpersonal problems) and have a greater prevalence of depression, substance abuse (78,79) and physical illness (74,77,(80)(81)(82). In a review of suicide risk among psychiatric inpatients in Denmark, Erlangsen and colleagues (83) noted that affective disorders had almost a twofold higher risk of suicide among psychiatric inpatients than other types of disorders, while patients with dementia had a significantly lower risk ratio of 0.2.…”

Purpose The current study describes how the excess mortality risk associated with depression translates into specific causes of death occurring during a 40-year follow-up period, with focus on deaths related to injuries, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Methods Data comes from a cross-sectional survey (Community Mental Health Epidemiology Study) conducted in the early 1970s in Washington County, Maryland. Random sampling for the survey resulted in 2762 interviews. For the current analyses, baseline depressed mood was linked to current participant vital status through the use of death certificate records. Results The relative subdistribution hazards for cardiovascular deaths (3.08 (1.74–5.45)) and fatal injuries (4.63 (1.76–12.18)) were significant over the entire 40-year period for young adults (18–39 years old at baseline). The relative subdistribution hazard for cardiovascular deaths during the first 15 years of follow-up was pronounced in elderly (≥ 65 years) males (2.99 (1.67–5.37)). There were no significant associations between depressed mood and cancer deaths. Conclusions Individuals in the general community with depressed mood may be at increased risk of deaths due to cardiovascular disease and injury, even several decades after exposure assessment. Young adults with depressed mood appear to be particularly vulnerable to these associations.
