Objectives: Estimate the rate of anxiety disorders (AD) and associated factors among patients with substance use disorder (SUD) in Lebanon. Methods: A cross-sectional study, conducted between April and September 2017, enrolled 57 inpatients with SUD. Results: The rate of AD in patients with SUD was 61.4%. The university level of education compared to the primary level of education (ORa = 0.221) was significantly associated with lower anxiety among patients with SUD. Being sexually abused and having a family history of depression tended to significance. Practical Implications: AD is widespread in Lebanon and high rates of anxiety in patients with SUD were found, warranting the implementation of strategic interventions and establishing national policies and legislation for mental health services to provide optimal care. K E Y W O R D S addiction, anxiety disorder, risk factors, substance use disorder 1 | INTRODUCTION Anxiety disorders (AD) are among the most commonly occurring mental disorders worldwide, estimated to have a lifetime prevalence up to 33% 1 and a global prevalence ranging from 4.8 to 10.9%. 2 In Lebanon, 11.2% of the people suffer from an anxiety disorder, which represents around 560 000 inhabitants out of a total of about 5 million. 3,4 Lebanon witnessed a series of wars, local armed combats, and terrorist attacks, 5 in addition to a series of crises including clean water penury, electrical power failure, and waste management problems that had overwhelmed the country. 5 Moreover, a high number of Syrian refugees had led to high levels of unemployment and competition for employment with locals. This is concurrent with the lack of public awareness about these Souheil Hallit and Fouad Tahan are last co-authors.

“…Individuals with SUD often report symptoms in additional areas of psychopathology, suggesting that there is significant comorbidity of substance use with other areas of dysfunction [ 31 , 32 ]. SUD has been linked with the Anxiety Disorders [ 33 ], Major Depressive Disorder [ 34 ], Bipolar Disorder [ 35 ], and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder [ 36 ], as well as sleep disturbance [ 37 ] and even suicide attempts [ 38 ]. In particular, the comorbidity of SUD and anxiety has been associated with several adverse outcomes, such as increased symptom severity [ 39 ] and early relapse to substance use [ 40 ].…”

Parental Substance Use Disorder (SUD) constitutes a high-risk condition for parent-child interactions and child development. Empirical evidence indicates high rates of psychopathology and neuropsychological impairments in individuals with SUD. Despite research indicating that parenting skills are related to psychological well-being and cognitive/neuropsychological functioning, prior studies have not examined the associations between these areas of parental functioning and the quality of parent-child interactions in the context of SUD. Aim(s). The present study adopts an integrated perspective to investigate the way in which maternal neuropsychological functioning and psychopathology are associated with mother-child emotional availability (EA), in the context of parental Substance Use Disorder. Methods. Twenty-nine mothers with SUD were assessed in interaction with their children, as well as with respect to their neuropsychological functioning and psychopathology. Results. In this group, high rates of maternal neuropsychological impairments and psychopathology, as well as generally low levels of EA, were uncovered. Regression analyses showed that maternal neuropsychological functioning was significantly associated with mother-child EA, specifically sensitivity; the role of maternal psychopathology, however, was only marginally significant. Conclusion. In the context of SUD, maternal neuropsychological impairments are significantly associated with mother-child EA. Clinical implications of the findings are discussed.
