dc.description.abstractAim: This study aimed to assess the frequency of problem drinking among outpatients who were seen at a general psychiatry outpatient clinic of a university hospital located in the province of Malatya, eastern Turkey. Methods: Five-hundred and seven patients between 17-72 years old were interviewed in a 6 months period. The mean age was 35.8 +/- 12.4 years, and 72.2% of the sample was female. Patients who were diagnosed with one of the following disorders were included: anxiety disorders (n=287), major depressive disorder (n=110), and somatoform disorders (n=110). Comorbidities with other DSM-IV Axis-1 disorders were excluded. Patients with other psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and psychoses, bipolar disorders, primary alcohol and substance use disorders, and sexual function disorders were seen at separate, specialized outpatient clinics. Results: Overall, 19.8% of respondents reported alcohol use in the past year with significant differences in prevalence rates by gender; 41.7% among males and 11.5% among females (chi(2) =57.55, p<0.0001). The frequency of alcohol use (p=0.86), or family history of alcohol intake (p=0.22), or problem drinking (p=0.07) was not significantly different among patient groups. None of patients with somatoform disorders had problem drinking. Conclusion: Both alcohol use, and problem drinking frequencies were lower than the results of the studies from other countries. These results might be impaired, since the majority of patients was female. Problem drinking and subjects with a positive CAGE score were more common among males aged 40-54 years.en_US
