Abstract:: Posttraumatic stress disorder and substance use disorder often co-occur within the health care system. Their comorbidity is associated with more serious acute clinical symptomatology, more frequent hospital admissions in state of emergency and significantly lower chances of improvement by psychological and pharmacological treatment. Their comorbidity contributes to dramatically unfavourable courses of illness as regards all biopsychosocial levels. The survey presented will discuss empirical findings from various perspectives: general epidemiology, substance use disorder as risk factor of trauma and PTSD, trauma and PTSD as risk factor of SUD, neurobiological effects of SUD converging towards neurobiology of PTSD, shared common factors of genetics/epigenetics, personality traits, and early developmental stress and trauma. The main focus of analysis will be put on processes that are intrinsically linked to the development and course of both disorders.
