What is Depression?

In America, nearly one in ten men and women suffer from depression or a depressive disorder. Depression is a mental health disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, low energy levels, difficulty concentrating, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, and sometimes thoughts of self-harm or suicide. It is more than just feeling down or having a bad day; it is a prolonged and intense state of unhappiness that can significantly impact a person’s daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. It is important to seek professional help if you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of depression.

For those with an addiction brought on by their depression, co-occurring disorder treatment can help before their symptoms lead to self-harm or suicide.

Substance Abuse is Connected to Depression

There is often a strong link between depression and substance use, as these two issues can often coexist and influence each other. Some individuals may turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to self-medicate or temporarily alleviate symptoms of depression. However, substance use can worsen depression over time, as it can disrupt brain chemistry and lead to negative consequences in various aspects of life.

Depression can increase the risk of substance abuse, and substance abuse can increase the risk of developing depression. It’s a complex and bidirectional relationship. It’s important to address both issues simultaneously to achieve long-term recovery and mental health.
