This paper attempts to examine and compare prevalence rates and symptom patterns of DSM substance‐induced and other mood disorders. 243 cocaine‐dependent outpatients with cocaine‐induced mood disorder (CIMD), other mood disorders, or no mood disorder were compared on measures of psychiatric symptoms. The prevalence rate for CIMD was 12% at baseline. Introduction of the DSM‐IV diagnosis of CIMD did not substantially affect rates of the other depressive disorders. Patients with CIMD had symptom severity levels between those of patients with and without a mood disorder. These findings suggest some validity for the new DSM‐IV diagnosis of CIMD, but also suggest that it requires further specification and replication.
