La prevalencia de los trastornos mentales es mayor en los usuarios de drogas y en la población sin hogar que en la población no afectada por estas condiciones, aunque no existen estudios que comparan específicamente la gravedad clínica y social de estos dos grupos. Se analizó la relación entre los trastornos de la personalidad, trastornos por consumo de sustancias y transeuntismo, utilizando un diseño experimental de comparación intergrupo. 311 sujetos fueron reclutados y divididos en dos grupos: un grupo de trastorno por uso de sustancias y un grupo de transeuntes. Se utilizó el inventario Clínico Multiaxial de Millon (MCMI-II) y una entrevista para recopilar información sobre los aspectos físicos y sociales de los sujetos. Nuestros resultados muestran que el transeuntismo agrava el deterioro social y obtiene mayores puntuaciones en la escala de personalidad agresiva/sádica que en el grupo de trastorno por uso de sustancias, lo que puede ser una causa de la exclusion social, independientemente de las conductas antisociales y consecuencias legales.
The prevalence of mental disorders is higher in drug users and in the homeless population than in the population not affected by these conditions, although there are no studies that specifically compare the clinical and social severity of these two groups. We analyzed the relationship between personality disorders, substance use disorder, and homelessness using an inter-group-comparison experimental design. 311 subjects were recruited and divided into two groups: a substance use disorder group and a homeless group. We used the second Millon clinical multiaxial inventory (MCMI-II) questionnaire and an interview to collect information on the physical and social aspects of the subjects. Our results show that homelessness exacerbates social deterioration, and higher scores on the aggressive or sadistic personality scale than in the substance use disorder group, which may be a cause of their social exclusion which is independent of antisocial behaviors with legal consequences.
