Demographic, clinical, and family pedigree data obtained on 350 hospitalized drug-dependent patients showed that 52% also met DSM-III criteria for alcohol abuse or dependence, while 37% met DSM-III criteria for a concurrent axis I psychiatric disorder other than substance abuse. Cyclothymic disorder was significantly more common among cocaine abusers, while generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder were more common among sedative-hypnotic abusers. Data on 1,478 first-degree relatives revealed that the prevalence of alcoholism and affective disorder was highly correlated with the occurrence of similar psychopathology in the probands. These findings suggest a relationship between drug of choice and comorbid psychopathology, a role for familial factors in the transmission of these disorders, and the importance of diagnostic subtypes in the evaluation and treatment of substance abusers.
