摘要: We examine the effects of alcohol consumption and problem drinking on probable anxiety mood disorder (AMD). Data were taken from 2000–2006 CAMH Monitor (N = 15,653) general population survey Ontario adults. Scoring 4+ 12-item General Health Questionnaire defined AMD, as suggested by recent research. Logistic regression showed that respondents with problems had significantly increased odds but those reporting moderate daily (up to 2 drinks) decreased AMD compared abstainers. These data replicate other research in suggesting relationship between adverse psychological states, such distress disorder, may not be monotonic. Several ways which selection bias could account for these findings are discussed, well possible causative mechanisms.
