Conversely, heavy drinking may produce or worsen symptoms of depression or anxiety. Although clinical experience provides general guidance for treating these patients, further research is needed to develop effective psychosocial and pharmacological therapies aimed at specific combinations of psychiatric and addictive disorders. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
