Panic spectrum disorders and substance use

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

There is beguiling evidence that panic spectrum disorders and substance
use disorders co-aggregate (see Kushner, Abrams, & Borchardt, 2000;
Zvolensky, Feldner, Leen-Feldner, & McLeish, 2005; Zvolensky, Schmidt, &
Stewart, 2003 for reviews). Most, but not all, research shows that people with
panic spectrum disorders smoke more cigarettes (e.g., Pohl, Yeragani, Balon,
Lycaki, & McBride, 1992), drink alcohol more frequently (e.g., Regier et al.,
1990), may drop out of alcohol (e.g., Labounty, Hatsukami, Morgon, & Nelson,
1992) and smoking cessation clinics (e.g., Covey, Hughes, Glassman, Blazer, &
George, 1994) morefrequently, and experience more severe withdrawal symptoms
(e.g., Breslau, Kilbey, & Andreski, 1991) compared to people who do not have a
mental disorder.
