Posttraumatic stress disorder with and without alcohol use disorders: Diagnostic and clinical correlates in a psychiatric sample

This study compared outpatients (n = 196) with PTSD versus PTSD + alcohol use disorders (AUD) on clinical measures. PTSD + AUD patients were more likely to meet criteria for Borderline and Antisocial Personality Disorders. Emotion dysregulation may help account for the relationship between PTSD and AUD.
