Study of Drug dependence with associated Comorbid Psychiatric Disorder

BackgroundPeople with physical illness often have psychiatric disorder and this comorbidity may have a specific influence on their risk of suicide.AimsTo examine how physical illness and psychiatric comorbidity interact to influence risk of suicide, with particular focus on relative timing of onset of the two types of illness.MethodBased on the national population of Denmark, individual-level data were retrieved from five national registers on 27 262 suicide cases and 468 007 gender- and birth-date matched living controls. Data were analysed using conditional logistic regression.ResultsBoth suicides and controls with physical illness more often had comorbid psychiatric disorder than their physically healthy counterparts. Although both physical and psychiatric illnesses constituted significant risk factors for suicide, their relative timing of onset in individuals with comorbidity significantly differentiated the associated risk of suicide. While suicide risk was highly elevated when onsets of both physical and psychiatric illness occurred close in time to each other, regardless which came first, psychiatric comorbidity developed some time after onset of physical illness exacerbated the risk of suicide substantially.ConclusionsSuicide risk in physically ill people varies substantially by presence of psychiatric comorbidity, particularly the relative timing of onset of the two types of illness. Closer collaboration between general and mental health services should be an essential component of suicide prevention strategies.

General Management

This article reviews the agents that are responsible for producing psychiatric symptoms in an individual as a result of drug abuse, which may lead to delusions and hallucinations. There are several categories of drug that are responsible for producing psychiatric syndromes such as benzodiazepines, cannabis, amphetamines, alcohol, inhalants and hallucinogens. Long term use of these drugs may lead to drug dependence, intoxication and may even worsen the condition. The general management of drug-induced psychiatric disorder is to minimize the use of the drug, gradual withdrawal of the drug and patient counseling.
