Depressive disorder and alcohol abuse are very common psychiatric disorders with a reccurent (chronic) course. 25 % of patients with depression have problems with alcohol abuse. We often meet these patients in our practise. We have to solve how to treat these patients, if we should prescribe antidepressants nonabstinaint patients, or to force patients to abstinence, or if antidepressants may influence depression or decrease alcohol abuse.

Keywords: alcohol abuse, addiction, depression, antidepressants
