Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Gregory Landy discusses the closely intertwined psychiatric disorders of co-occurring disorders and substance-induced disorders. He explains that individuals with substance use disorders are twice as likely to suffer from mood and anxiety disorders compared to the general population. Dr. Landy explores the factors contributing to these disorders and emphasizes the importance of comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis. He highlights the poor prognosis and higher relapse rates associated with co-occurring disorders, as well as the increased risk of suicide. Dr. Landy also discusses the difficulty in differentiating co-occurring disorders from independent and substance-induced disorders. He explains that abstinence from substance use is often necessary to accurately diagnose and treat the psychiatric symptoms. The prevalence and clinical characteristics of substance-induced depressive disorders, substance-induced bipolar disorders, substance-induced psychotic disorders, and substance-induced anxiety disorders are also discussed. The video concludes with a reminder to stay updated on the research and literature in this evolving field. (End summary)
