C S Thomas, J J Lindenthal, J K Myers

    The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease
    |May 1, 1975

    Summary

    Psychological impairment strongly predicts tranquilizer use. However, the type or number of life crises did not correlate with tranquilizer ingestion, contrary to initial hypotheses.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Psychology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Tranquilizer use is common for managing psychological distress.
    • The relationship between life events and medication use requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the relationship between life crises and tranquilizer use.
    • To test three specific hypotheses regarding psychological impairment, crisis characteristics, and tranquilizer ingestion.

    Main Methods:

    • The study evaluated three hypotheses concerning life crises and tranquilizer consumption.
    • Data analysis focused on the correlation between psychological impairment, crisis nature/quantity, and tranquilizer use.

    Main Results:

    • A significant positive correlation was found between the degree of psychological impairment and the likelihood of tranquilizer ingestion.
    • No statistically significant relationship was observed between tranquilizer use and the nature or number of crises experienced.

    Conclusions:

    • Psychological impairment is a key factor associated with tranquilizer use.
    • The specific characteristics or frequency of life crises do not appear to influence tranquilizer consumption.
