Personality influences outcomes in AUD regardless of whether a categorical personality diagnosis or dimensional trait domain approach is taken. There are, however, no good data to inform clinicians on the impact of AUD on the outcomes of PD. Understanding the extent of this impact is complicated by the multiple tools used for diagnosis (of both PD and AUD) and the statistical methods used. Overall, caution is required in interpreting the data due to the quality of the current literature; however, comorbidity between the two disorders is likely significant and the impact of PD on AUD outcomes is sufficient to require co...Continue Reading
