Comorbid adolescent substance use and major depressive disorders: a review.

Yifrah Kaminer, Daniel F. Connor, John F. Curry

Abstract

Psychiatric comorbidity is the rule rather than the exception in adolescents diagnosed with substance use disorders (SUD). The aim of this evidence-based review is to enhance practitioners' understanding of the relationship between the commonly concomitant SUD and comorbid unipolar depression as well as increase the knowledge of treatment of adolescents with these comorbid disorders.
