Objectives£ºThis study was designed to investigate the relationship of alcohol dependence, alcohol insight, and depression. Methods£ºThe study subjects were 124 patients diagnosed with alcohol dependence. We analyzed sociodemographic characteristics and utilized the Alcohol Dependence Scale (ADS), Beck¡¯s Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Hanil Alcohol Insight Scale (HAIS). Results£ºIn the group with a higher level of depression, more severe alcohol dependence showed (p=0.003). The mean BDI score was higher than that of other groups in severe alcohol dependence (p=0.000). The ADS score was related to the BDI score (p=0.000). However, we could not find any correlation between the HAIS and the BDI. Conclusion£ºDepressive mood is related to alcohol dependence, so intervention to treat depression is needed for managing alcohol dependence.
