“…Abundant evidence has suggested that ARD is also associated with other comorbid psychiatric disorders, especially internalizing disorders such as anxiety or depression (Baker et al, 2012;Charriau et al, accumulate mental strain as well as an inadequate drinking habit (i.e., ARD), leading them to a psychologically unstable state. In the former case, problematic alcohol use precedes internalizing symptomatology while the latter case is the opposite, thus remaining a matter of controversy (Saraceno et al, 2009).…”

“…As for anxiety, men who are substance users have greater anxiety on average than men who were not users. The relationship between substance use and anxiety is known ( Cardoso-Moreno and Tomás-Aragonés, 2013 , Charriau et al, 2013 , Córdova and García, 2011 ). Men who are substance users scored statistically significantly higher on both state anxiety and trait anxiety than nonusers.…”

Erectile dysfunction in men may be due to multiple causes, including anxiety and substance abuse. The main objective of this study is to know how it affects the continued use of addictive substances in the erectile response, taking into account not only the type of substances consumed, but also other variables that may influence on sexual response, such as the time of withdrawal, anxiety and sexual attitude. Two samples were used, one for males (n = 925) who had a history of substance use and another one for males (n = 82) with no history of substance abuse. Both populations were selected by a cluster sampling of 27 Spanish provinces. The GRISS, SOS and STAI questionnaires were used. The results indicate that men with a history of consumption obtained a higher percentage of dysfunction in the erectile dysfunction questionnaire GRISS scale than those who have a history of consumption (36.69% vs.15.85%) who also have higher scores on state anxiety (19.83 vs.11.89) and trait anxiety (25.66 vs.12.39) and lowest in erotophilia (86.85 vs. 97.29) was statistically significant difference. It is also proved that the time of withdrawal does not help ex drug users improve their erectile response.

“…The association of alcohol drinking patterns and anxiety disorders is well recognized. Evidence indicates that anxiety disorders may cause and aggravate alcohol intake and vice versa (Smail et al 1984;Himle and Hill 1991;Lotufo-Neto and Gentil 1994;Allan 1995;Kessler et al 1997;Kushner et al 2000;Singh et al 2005;Charriau et al 2012). The relationship of phobic disorders, especially social anxiety, and alcohol consumption has been emphasized (Morris et al 2005;Blumenthal et al 2010;Schneier et al 2010;Buckner and Matthews 2012).…”

Background Visual height intolerance occurs when a visual stimulus causes apprehension of losing balance and falling from some height. Affecting one-third of the population, it has a broad spectrum of symptoms, ranging from minor distress to fear of heights, which is defined as a specific phobia. Specific phobias are associated with higher alcohol consumption. This has not been specifically shown for susceptibility to the more general visual height intolerance. Methods Representative case–control study nested within a population-based cross-sectional telephone survey to assess epidemiologically 1253 individuals ≥14 years, using a questionnaire on sociodemographic data, typical symptoms, precipitating visual stimuli, and alcohol drinking patterns (overall frequency of alcohol consumption, the daily quantities, and the motives). Results Individuals susceptible or nonsusceptible to visual height intolerance showed no significant differences in drinking patterns. The daily average alcohol consumption was slightly higher in persons susceptible to visual height intolerance (4.1 g/day vs. 3.7 g/day). Of those consuming alcohol, cases and controls reported on average consuming 2.3 glasses per day. The prevalence of visual height intolerance was insignificantly higher in the small minority of those drinking 2–3 times per week versus teetotalers. Conclusions Our study does not provide evidence that visual height intolerance – contrary to various specific phobias – is significantly associated with individual alcohol consumption patterns.
