While considering the mix of mental health and substance abuse - which tends to occur often in North Carolina - it is important to think about how these disorders affect each other and often act as the underlying causes.
Research studies show that mental health disorders like anxiety, trauma, and depression are closely related to substance abuse and addiction. While substance abuse and addiction can lead to psychotic reactions, not all of them will directly cause each other.
Even so, if you are living with a mental illness, you might use drugs and alcohol to self-medicate the effects and symptoms of your problem. This is because you would be trying to ease the symptoms of your mental health disorder, to change your moods, and to cope with any difficult emotions that you have been feeling.
This normally works but only temporarily. Over time, ongoing substance abuse could cause you to develop an addiction, which will lead to other side effects and symptoms. Eventually, it will worsen the initial symptoms that you were trying to relieve.
Abusing alcohol and drugs can also increase your risk of developing a mental health disorder. This is because mental illnesses are caused by an interplay of the environment, genetics, and other external factors.
If you have a risk of developing such a disorder and you abuse intoxicating substances, you might push yourself over the edge. In time, you may find that you are struggling with a mental health disorder. This is why research shows that people who abuse marijuana run a high risk of developing psychosis while opioid users often end up struggling with depression.
It is also important to keep in mind that substance abuse can worsen the symptoms of your mental health disorder. It could sharply increase your psychiatric symptoms and even trigger other new symptoms.
Substance abuse could also potentially interact with any medications that you might have been taking to manage your mental illness - such as mood stabilizers, anti-anxiety tablets, and antidepressants. In the process, it will make these medications less effective so that the symptoms of your mental health disorder continue worsening over time.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to diagnose the mix of mental health and substance abuse disorders. This is because it would take highly qualified skills to discover what might be an addiction and what might be a mental illness.
In many cases, this problem arises because some of the symptoms of a mental health disorder resemble those caused by substance abuse and addiction. For instance, if you are addicted to marijuana, you might display symptoms that are similar to those caused by depression. On the other hand, alcohol abuse could cause effects that resemble those arising from anxiety and schizophrenia.
Even so, if you are displaying the classic signs of a mix of mental health and substance abuse disorder, it is highly likely that you may be struggling with a dual diagnosis. In such a situation, it would be highly recommended that you check into an integrated dual diagnosis treatment center in North Carolina to get started on the road to recovery from all the disorders that you have been struggling with.
