Methamphetamine abuse or dependence and tiie global assesment function were diagnosed according to DSM-IV, and the presence of personality disorder was assessed with the PDQ-4+.
Results : In the normal control group, 34% of subjects had at least one personality disorder and the average numt~er of personality disorder was 3.94 per person. In the methamphetamine abuse or dependent group, 64% of the patients had at least one personality disorder and the average number of personality disorder was 4.72 per patient. The presence of comorbid personality disorder were not associated with onset age, use dosage and the number of admission or arrest among the methamphetamine abuse or dependent group. But, when methamphetamine abuse or dependent patients toad more than three personality disorders, the global assessment function was impaired.
