Posttraumatic stress disorder with and without alcohol use disorders: diagnostic and clinical correlates in a psychiatric sample.
This study compared outpatients (n=196) with PTSD versus PTSD+alcohol use disorders (AUD) on clinical measures. PTSD+AUD patients were more likely to meet criteria for Borderline and Antisocial Personality Disorders. Emotion dysregulation may help account for the relationship between PTSD and AUD.
