Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) are common comorbid conditions that affect large segments of the population. Individuals with comorbid PTSD/AUD face greater clinical and functional stressors than those with diagnoses of either PTSD or AUD alone. The purpose of this article is to review the phenomenology and functional associations of PTSD/AUD and address the common social, occupational, and psychological concerns associated with both disorders. Given the increased problems associated with comorbid PTSD/AUD, clinical and research efforts should focus on targeting functional and psychosocial problems in conjunction with psychiatric symptoms.
创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和酒精使用障碍（AUD）是常见的共病状况，影响着很大一部分人群。患有PTSD/AUD共病的个体比仅被诊断为PTSD或AUD的个体面临更大的临床和功能压力源。本文的目的是回顾PTSD/AUD的现象学和功能关联，并解决与这两种障碍相关的常见社会、职业和心理问题。鉴于PTSD/AUD共病相关问题的增加，临床和研究工作应侧重于结合精神症状来针对功能和心理社会问题。
