本研究的目的是检查精神症状和甲基苯丙胺依赖之间的关联。对从加州人口最多的14个县抽样的1,580名被捕者进行了为期4小时的调查。调查包括评估人口统计学特征、物质依赖史和精神病学的项目。在评估前的12个月内，甲基苯丙胺依赖者比否认甲基苯丙胺依赖者更容易报告抑郁症状和自杀意念，即使在控制了人口统计学特征和对其他药物的依赖性之后，甲基苯丙胺依赖者也可能在访谈时报告需要精神援助。这些研究结果表明，甲基苯丙胺依赖者有更大的风险经历特定的精神症状。进一步的研究，以确定这些症状的病因是必要的。
The objective of this study was to examine the association between psychiatric symptoms and methamphetamine dependence. A four-hour survey was administered to 1,580 arrestees sampled from the 14 most populous counties in California. The survey included items assessing demographic profile, history of substance dependence, and psychiatric symptomatology. In the 12 months prior to the assessment, methamphetamine-dependent individuals were more likely to report depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation than individuals denying methamphetamine dependence, even after controlling for demographic profile and dependence on other drugs, Methamphetamine-dependent individuals also weve move likely to report a need for psychiatric assistance at the time of the interview. These findings suggest that methamphetamine-dependent individuals are at greater risk to experience particular psychiatric symptoms. Further study to determine the etiology of these symptoms is warranted.
