Abstract
Mood and anxiety disorders commonly co-occur with substance use disorders. Exploration of the neurobiology of substance use disorders and mood and anxiety disorders have found that the neural circuitry in mood, anxiety, and substance use disorders is clearly overlapping. These discoveries have encouraged the exploration of a number of pharmacotherapeutic agents in the treatment of co-occurring mood, anxiety, and substance use disorders. In this article, recent data on the pharmacotherapeutic treatment of mood and anxiety disorders in individuals with substance use disorders are reviewed. Some of the barriers to the use of pharmacotherapy in individuals with substance use disorders are discussed.
