Psychosocial correlates of depression and anxiety among treatment-seeking individuals with opioid dependence: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Opioid dependence is commonly comorbid with depression and anxiety, which contribute to greater disability and poorer quality of life. This study assessed the prevalence of these comorbidities and their socio-demographic and clinical correlates in treatment-seeking individuals with opioid dependence in India.

Methodology

We conducted a cross-sectional study at a tertiary care center in North India. A total of 255 adult patients diagnosed with opioid dependence (ICD-11) were recruited after fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria. Depression and anxiety were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7). Quality of life and disability were measured using the WHOQOL-BREF and WHODAS 2.0. Logistic
