Overview

The number of in-patients at Psychiatric Hospital Prague Bohnice with substance-related diagnoses and pathological gambling increased since 1994 to 2003 for alcohol related problems by 77 %, for problems related to other psychoactive drugs almost 4-fold, and in pathological gamblers by 37 %. The greatest increase among alcohol related problems occurred in withdrawal syndrome (about 4-fold). The greatest increase in problems related to other drugs occurred in substance dependence (almost 5-fold). This trend probably reflects the epidemiological situation but some other factors discussed in this paper may also be important.

Key words:
substance related problems, pathological gambling, in-patient treatment, epidemiology.
