When depression and substance use overlap

Depression and substance use can affect each other in complicated ways. Low mood, reduced motivation, sleep changes, isolation, or difficulty managing responsibilities may occur alongside alcohol or drug use. Some adults use substances while trying to cope with emotional pain. Substance use may then intensify mood symptoms or create additional problems at home, work, or school.
