ABSTRACT
Alcohol use, drug abuse, with depressive disorders are commonly co-occurred more often than expected by chance, requires more attention paid to health concerns of these groups of people. We thus presented a systematic review to characterize depressive disorders and provide cross-analysis results summarized for depression with alcohol and drug abuse. The findings suggest that people who used alcohol or drugs have a moderately increased risk of depression later in life. Our findings contribute to strengthening the damaging effects of substances and alcohol abuse, also considering the public health impacts of depression and depressive symptoms.
