title: Double depression in adolescent substance users.
abstract: One hundred adolescent substance users were interviewed in a youth drop-in counseling center. The results indicated that 16% of the sample suffered from a nontransitory type of depression with a duration of at least one year with a superimposed major depressive disorder. The group with such double-depression was found to include significantly more alcohol dependent individuals as well as amphetamine abusers. The study gives further support to the DSM-III notion that depression is associated with substance use in adolescents.
