Abstract
The psychiatric evaluation of 150 opium addicts in Shiraz, Iran, revealed that (1) the addicts had more psychiatric symptoms than the matched control group, and (2) the most frequent symptom among the addicts was depression. Our findings differ from most Western studies, where anxiety and evidence of antisocial behavior were reported as the most common findings.
