Abstract
Symptom groups of depression, psychic anxiety, somatic anxiety and cognitive impairment, and attributions of symptom relief to either self or others were assessed with 179 French-speaking women who were using psychotropic drugs at different rates. Drug consumers reported significantly more often than abstainers that symptom relief results from efforts of others. Occasional users reported distress levels higher than both regular users and abstainers did.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
