AB  - There is a well-recognized relationship between substance use disorders and other 
      psychiatric disorders. This relationship has been well documented in a range of 
      population-based studies. This study aims to report on consumption patterns of 
      and dependence on nicotine, alcohol, and non-prescribed drugs and to report on 
      the levels of psychiatric morbidity in these groups. A national household study 
      of psychiatric morbidity was conducted in England and Wales. Psychiatric 
      assessment was based on the Clinical Interview Schedule-Revised (CIS-R). Measures 
      of nicotine, alcohol and drug use and dependence were obtained. This paper 
      compares the levels of psychiatric morbidity in the non-dependent and the 
      nicotine-, alcohol- and drug-dependent cases. Twelve per cent of the 
      non-dependent population were assessed as having any psychiatric disorder 
      compared with 22% of the nicotine-dependent, 30% of the alcohol-dependent, and 
      45% of the drug-dependent population. There is a clear relationship between 
      dependence on nicotine, alcohol, and drugs and other psychiatric morbidity.
