[Alcoholism, anxiety and depression.].
In this article, the authors examine the links between alcoholism and psychiatric disorders. They estimate that alcohol addiction is rarely a pathology that appears in an isolated fashion. North-american studies conducted within the general population (Epidemiological Catchment Area (ECA), National Comorbidity Study) have confirmed the frequent association of psychiatric disorders and alcoholism (Regier et al., 1990). The authors conclude that depression and anxiety are the two major psychiatric disorders of alcoholism. They suggest that the treatment of anxiety as well as depression be integrated to that of alcoholism.
