Aim: To describe lifetime mental disorders in patients with substance use disorders (SUD) admitted for the first time to specialized treatment for psychiatric or addiction problems from a catchment area. Methods: Special efforts were made to include all eligible patients and secure completion of thorough assessments, including the Psychiatric Research Interview for Substance and Mental Disorders (PRISM) and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV axis II personality disorders (SCID-II). The strength of this study lies in its rigorous patient recruitment and assessment methods. Results: Of 61 patients, 53 had alcohol use disorder (AUD). Of these, 28 had AUD only, and 25 had an additional drug use disorder (DUD). 89% had comorbid axis I (85%) or axis II (46%) disorders. The most prevalent axis I disorders were major depressive disorder (71%), social phobia (31%) and posttraumatic stress disorder (18%). Among those with comorbid psychiatric disorders (n = 54), 25 (41% of the sample) had disorders considered to be independent of their substance use only, 4 patients (7%) had substance-induced disorders only, and 23 patients (38%) had both independent and substance-induced disorders. Conclusion: Comorbid mental disorders were remarkably prevalent in these SUD patients who were admitted for the first time.

This research was planned as a descriptive study for the purpose of examining the suicidal thoughts of first-year university students and the factors that might affect them. The research was conducted with the participation of first-year students (class of 1992) at Ege University between January 2003 and October 2004. The research data were collected on a form prepared by the researcher to determine the university students' socio-demographic characteristics and their suicidal thoughts, the trait anger, expression of anger inventory and the brief symptom inventory. It was determined that 2.4% of the students had suicidal thoughts, and 11.2% of the students had previously attempted suicide. The risk factors of the students' suicidal thoughts were determined to be issues of gender, school problems, family relationships, anger expression, somatization, hostility, psychotic symptoms, phobic anxiety, anxiety disorder and interpersonal sensitivity.

“…The most common comorbidity with ADHD is conduct disorder or oppositional-defiant disorder. 2,3 In fact, oppositional defiant disorder is so common that the public tends to link ADHD symptomatology with aggression and oppositional behavior even though neither is part of the diagnostic criteria for ADHD.…”
