Abstract

Psychiatric comorbidity is common in individuals with alcohol problems and has a significant effect on the outcome of alcohol problems. Problem drinkers should therefore be screened for psychiatric disorders and have access to appropriate treatment. Psychiatric comorbidity should be taken into account in the planning and development of treatment services for alcohol problems.
