对精神健康中心收治的61名酗酒者进行的一项调查确定，他们中的大多数（59%）患有临床抑郁症。抑郁症状很少用抗抑郁药物治疗，在1年的随访中，发现即使患者参加了酗酒者的标准治疗计划，抑郁症状仍持续存在。需要新的治疗策略，认识到酒精的诊断异质性，并考虑使用适当的精神药理学药物。
A survey of 61 outpatients admitted to a mental health center for the treatment of alcoholism determined that a majority of them (59 per cent) were clinically depressed. The depressive symptoms were rarely treated with antidepressant agents and, at 1-year follow-up, were found to persist even though the patients had attended the standard treatment program for alcoholics. There is need for new treatment strategies that recognize the diagnostic heterogeneity of the alcoholic and that consider the use of appropriate psychopharmacological agents.
