Background

Co-occurring Disorders (COD)

• COD is a more accurate term– A substance use disorder and an independent

mental disorder co-occurring in one person.

• What are independent disorders– In DSM-IV, independent mental disorders requires

that psychiatric symptoms of these disorders are not direct result of substance use or general medical conditions.

CSAT, A Treatment improvement protocol-42: 2005.

Background

COD among clinical populations

• Estimates of psychiatric co-morbidity rates among clinical populations in substance abuse treatment settings are 25 -70%.

• Estimates of substance use co-morbidity rates among clinical populations in mental health treatment settings are 20-50%.

* Differences in incidence due to: nature of population served (e.g.: homeless vs. middle class), sophistication of psychiatric diagnostic methods used (psychiatrist or DSM checklist) and severity of diagnoses included (major depression vs. dysthymia).

Impact of COD

• Impaired treatment success, more relapse, higher cost.

• Increased likelihood of committing offence and suicide.

• Increased rates of homelessness and insecure housing.

• Increased risk of HIV infection.

• Family problems or problems with intimate relationships

• Isolation and social withdrawal.

• Greater levels of unemployment.

• Increased risk of poverty.

Drake et al., 1989; Kamail et al., 2000 Linazen et al.,1994; Mc Crone et al., 2000; Scott et al,1998.

Background

What’s the problem?

• Most of the evidence concerning COD comes from the United States and European countries.

• Big disparities exist in region, race/ethnicity, social environment and drug variety.

• Information in the field of COD in Asian populations is astonishingly rare.

• Heroin is the most dominative drug used in China.

Background

• Design Cross-sectional study, face-to-face individual interview.

• Setting Voluntary and compulsory drug rehabilitation centers.

• Participants 1,002 heroin-dependent patients, consecutively.

• Instruments Self-designed questionnaire; SCID-I; SCID-II.

Co-occurring mental disorders among heroin-dependent patients in China are highly prevalent, should be address in clinical practice.

The co-occurrence of mood disorders, Cluster B personality disorders are main co-occuring mental disorders..

Chronic physical diseases related to co-occuring mood disorders were often induced from chronic drug use.

A family history of mental disorders, childhood adversity, and an adverse social-economic status are independent predictors for co-occurring Cluster B personality disorders.

Patients co-occurred with Cluster B personality disorders are more severe in addiction and begin to use heroin on an earlier age.
