There is also a known risk relationship between other psychiatric disorders and alcohol use disorders. Persons with a mood disorder (especially bipolar disorder) have an increased lifetime risk for an alcohol use disorder, as compared with persons without mood disorders ([13] Glantz et al., 2009). The increased risk for a substance use disorder (alcohol or drugs) following onset of a mood disorder is perhaps most precisely demonstrated by [14] Plana-Ripoll et al. 2019, using a study of the Danish population that showed a cumulative risk of 20% for men and 10% for women for an SUD during the fifteen years following the onset of a mood disorder. This represents a hazard ratio of ~5 for a disorder severe enough to come to clinical attention. Adolescents with a mood disorder are at increased risk for onset of alcohol problems ([15] Kessler et al., 2012; [16] Boschloo et al., 2013) and vice versa ([17] Kandel et al., 1999). Mood disorder may be associated with the course of alcohol problems as well as onset ([18] Crum et al., 2018). Scores on an internalizing
