BACKGROUND: Co-morbid substance use is common among individuals presenting with symptoms of @entity716 . There is a paucity of research in this area. AIM: To study the longitudinal follow-up of @entity1 over 1-year of first @entity716 with concurrent substance use in terms of their diagnostic stability. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty @entity1 having at least one symptom of @entity716 at first admission at a General Hospital Psychiatric Unit along with concurrent @entity734 were included and followed up for 1-year. International Classification of Disease-10, diagnostic criteria were used for diagnosis. Semi-structured sociodemographic performa to assess the sociodemographic profile. Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale and Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test as rating scales were used for the assessment at 6 and 12 months. RESULTS: Of 50 @entity1 , 31 @entity1 who had a diagnosis of primary @entity716 retained their diagnosis at follow-up. The mean age of cases in substance-induced @entity716 group was 37.47 years, which was significantly higher than in primary @entity716 group at 31.52 years. However, 7 @entity1 of the substance-induced @entity716 group required a change in diagnosis to primary @entity716 group. The primary @entity716 group @entity1 were significantly younger, less educated, had less family support, had greater family mental @entity221 , had more severe symptoms, and less @entity1833 . CONCLUSION: The present study is a forerunner in this area. Salient differences indicated in the study can help in differentiating the diagnosis and in the management of cases. This is particularly relevant in the management setting and for long-term intervention purpose.
