Childhood maltreatment and problematic alcohol use in young adulthood: the roles of cognitive vulnerability to depression and depressive symptoms.

Treating depression in individuals with a history of CM may help to prevent problem drinking in this vulnerable population. PMID: 32101477 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
