| Abstract: | This study examined the prevalence of alcohol abuse and/or dependence in a sample of patients with anxiety disorders gathered from the Epidemiologic Catchment Area Study. Prior research had indicated that anxiety disorders are prevalent among alcoholics and also that alcoholism is prevalent among samples of anxiety disorder patients. The sample included 2471 individuals who met a lifetime diagnosis of agoraphobia, panic disorder, agoraphobia with panic attacks, social phobia, simple phobia, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. About 12% of these individuals met criteria for a lifetime history of alcohol abuse and/or dependence. Relative odds ratios were calculated for the risk of alcohol use disorder, correcting for the effects of site, age, race, and gender. Among those individuals with a history of both anxiety and alcoholism disorders, the highest risk of alcohol use disorder was found in the agoraphobia with panic group. Lowest risk was found among those with a single diagnosis of simple phobia or agoraphobia without panic attacks. Clinical implications of these results are discussed. |
