Summary: Individuals with common mental disorders (depression, anxiety, phobia) are twice as likely to report an alcohol use disorder compared to those without common mental disorders. There were no clear differences in the odds of having an AUD among different types of CMDs, and study characteristics did not provide clear explanations for heterogeneity in results. No distinct patterns were found in the associations between having a CMD and binge drinking or alcohol consumption, respectively.

Summary: People with severe mental disorders have a higher mortality rate due to preventable conditions like cardiovascular diseases and respiratory diseases. Nicotine addiction is a preventable risk factor, with tobacco use being twice as high in people with mental disorders. An integrative model that divides mental disorders into externalising, internalising, and thought disorders could be useful for identifying common causalities and risk factors.

Summary: This study compared the association between smoking and depressive symptoms among adolescents in Sweden and Italy, finding that Swedish adolescents had a higher risk of depressive symptoms with smoking compared to Italian adolescents. This difference may be due to the differing psychosocial profiles of smokers in the two countries.

Summary: This study examined the longitudinal associations between depressive, anxiety, and substance use disorders. The findings revealed reciprocal relationships between these disorders and highlighted gender differences, with females being more susceptible to depressive and anxiety disorders, and males being more vulnerable to substance use disorders. Early treatment and comprehensive psychosocial interventions are crucial in preventing chronicity and further maladjustment.

Summary: This study explores the association between psychiatric comorbidity and the severity of gambling disorder (GD) during and after outpatient treatment. The results suggest that individuals with comorbid anxiety disorders have poorer improvement in GD severity during outpatient treatment. The presence of both affective and anxiety disorders is linked to a less favourable course of GD, but better than the presence of anxiety disorders alone.

Summary: Sex and gender differences play a moderating role in mental and substance use disorders (MSUDs). This national study found that sex/gender moderates the associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and intimate partner violence (IPV) with MSUDs. The impact of ACEs and IPV is stronger in males, particularly in lifetime mood, anxiety, and alcohol use disorders.

Sleep disorders partially mediated the relationship between tinnitus severity and anxiety.

Summary: Despite the high prevalence of alcohol use disorders (AUDs) in Korea, few studies have been conducted on the temporal priority with comorbid mental disorders. We investigated the temporal priority of lifetime AUDs and comorbid mood and anxiety disorders among the general population of Korea. The results showed that mood and anxiety disorders are more likely to occur before alcohol dependence, while specific phobia is more likely to occur before alcohol abuse.
