Addiction and mental health are closely linked. People with mental health conditions are more likely to develop addiction, and people with addiction are more likely to experience mental health problems.
- Anxiety and addiction: Anxiety is a common mental health condition that can lead to addiction. People with anxiety may use drugs or alcohol to self-medicate and cope with their symptoms.
- Depression and addiction: Depression is another common mental health condition that can lead to addiction. People with depression may use drugs or alcohol to numb their feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and worthlessness.
- Insomnia and addiction: Insomnia is a sleep disorder that can lead to addiction. People with insomnia may use drugs or alcohol to help them fall asleep or stay asleep.
If you are struggling with addiction or mental health problems, it is important to seek help. There are many resources available to help you get the treatment you need.
