The following guiding question was defined: What are the most common psychiatric comorbidities among crack/cocaine users? The controlled descriptors were ¡°Crack¡±, ¡°Cocaine¡± and ¡°Dual Diagnosis¡±. SCOPUS, PUBMED, LILACS and COCHRANE databases were searched by two independent researchers during August of 2014. Results: The most common psychiatric disorders among crack/cocaine users were the following: mood disorders, including depression; bipolar disorder; anxiety disorders, accompanied (or not) by panic attacks; post-traumatic stress disorder; personality disorders, with an emphasis on antisocial personality disorder and schizophrenia.
