Alcool et comorbidités psychiatriques pour le praticien [Alcohol and psychiatric comorbidities in primary care].

Patients presenting with alcohol-related problems frequently suffer from comorbid mental health problems. From a broader perspective, patients having a comorbid situation between an addiction and a psychiatric trouble are at risk of being underdiagnosed for one of the two diseases. This litterature review tries to outline the issues linked to rigorous psychiatric diagnoses in the alcoologic situation, to describe the epidemiology of alcohol dual diagnosis, and to sum up scientific knowledge about the most adapted medication options and treatment settings.
