Abstract

One hundred adolescent substance users were interviewed in a youth drop-in counseling center. The results indicated that 16% of the sample suffered from a nontransitory type of depression with a duration of at least one year with a superimposed major depressive disorder. The group with such double-depression was found to include significantly more alcohol dependent individuals as well as amphetamine abusers. The study gives further support to the DSM-III notion that depression is associated with substance use in adolescents.

摘要

在一家青少年临时咨询中心对100名青少年药物使用者进行了访谈。结果表明，样本中有16%患有非暂时性抑郁症，病程至少一年，且伴有重度抑郁症。发现患有这种双重抑郁症的群体中酒精依赖者和安非他命滥用者明显更多。该研究进一步支持了《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版中关于抑郁症与青少年药物使用有关的观点。
