Mahajan A, et al. - This study incorporated an examination of the prevalence of substance abuse (SA) in patients with cervical dystonia (CD). Additionally, experts attempted to associate it with the prevalence of psychiatric disorders. It was illustrated that younger age and male gender with comorbid anxiety, depression and other psychiatric problems served as the potential risk factors for SA in CD patients. Therefore, caution was recommended while prescribing drugs with potential for abuse in such patients.
