Understanding Substance Abuse and Co-Occurring Disorders

Substance abuse often coexists with mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. This dual presence can complicate diagnosis and treatment, as substances may be used by individuals to self-medicate, inadvertently worsening their mental health symptoms.

Signs of Substance Abuse and Co-Occurring Disorders

Identifying the presence of both substance abuse and mental health issues is crucial. Signs to look for include:

Increased reliance on substances under emotional distress
Noticeable mood swings related to substance use or withdrawal
Withdrawal from social activities and isolation
Neglecting responsibilities at work, home, or school
Sudden changes in behavior or extreme reactions
