Abstract

Depression and alcohol use disorder (AUD) are two of the most prevalent mental diseases and are frequently co-morbid. Although there are numerous studies on the comorbidity of alcohol use disorders (AUD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), correlational research on AUD and MDD is limited. This review aims to describe the correlation between AUD and MDD in different aspects (gender, age). According to studies, there appears to be a bidirectional relationship between AUD and MDD; both diseases can coexist, with each raising the risk of and aggravating the other. However, this bidirectional relationship also needs to be considered in different contexts and analysed specifically, highlighting the need for additional investigation into the relationship between AUD and MDD. Key future goals include study to understand the heterogeneity between AUD and MDD, the investigation of new medications to enhance outcomes, and the development of more effective interventions to alleviate patients' suffering.
