Although cannabis use is very frequent in mood disorders, there has been a considerable debate about the association observed between these two disorders. This review aims to clarify the relation between cannabis use and bipolar disorder, in order to unveil a possible causality

They selected 1,000 children aged between 6 and 10 years, admitted in several schools in Lebanon. In each district, they randomly chose five schools, and in each school two classes. From each class, 10 children were included randomly in the population of the study. For each child, an ADHD-Rating Scale-IV School version was filled by a main teacher. The Home version was filled by the child's parents. The prevalence of ADHD Inattentive subtype was 3 per 1,000, Hyperactive-Impulsive subtype 12 per 1,000, and ADHD Combined subtype 17 per 1,000. ADHD was significantly more prevalent in boys than in girls. This is the first epidemiological study to be conducted in Lebanon to estimate the prevalence of ADHD among children.

Anxiety, depression and other emotional disorders may be a cause or a consequence of alcohol dependence. Although alcohol is known to have anxiolytic and anti-phobic properties, alcoholic patients have a higher prevalence of developing anxiety disorders. A prevalence of panic disorders is higher in an alcoholic population and similarly alcohol dependence is higher in a population suffering from panic disorders. The association of alcohol dependence with depression in panic disorders increases suicidal risks and ideation. The prevalence of alcohol dependence is also higher in phobias and OCD. Alcohol dependence and anxiety disorders seem to be genetically associated: Anxiety disorders are greater in first degree family members of alcoholic patients. Alcohol dependence can be a cause or a consequence of anxiety disorders; simple, social phobias and agoraphobias usually precede alcoholism, while GAD occurs simultaneously with it. Depending on dose intake alcohol can reduce or increase anxiety by causing a dysfunction of the neurotransmission of GABA, glutamate and noradrenalin receptors. Alcohol intake can have euphoric or depressive effects, depending on dose intake, psychological characteristics and patients’ expectations.
