TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Psychopathology in adolescent alcohol abuse and dependence JO - Alcohol health and research world A1 - Clark, D. B. A1 - Bukstein, O. G. SP - 117 EP - 21, 126 VL - 22 IS - 2 N2 - Adolescents who abuse or are dependent on alcohol often have coexisting mental disorders. These disorders may both precipitate alcohol use disorders and result from them. In addition, both types of disorders may arise independently in adolescents at high risk. Mental disorders that commonly co-occur with alcohol use disorders in adolescents include antisocial disorders, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders. Treatment programs for adolescents with alcohol use disorders should seek not only to eliminate alcohol and other drug use but also to improve the symptoms of other mental disorders.
