The pathophysiologies of substance abuse and affective disorders: an integrative model?
Substance abuse and affective disorders involve overlapping symptom complexes. The author suggests that the neurobiologies of these conditions could be related and presents a model useful in studying the pharmacologies of some of the drugs of abuse and the pathophysiology of affective disorders. This model may bridge two disciplines and render them mutually useful.
