When depression and substance use overlap

Depression and substance use can affect one another in complex ways. Low mood, reduced energy, isolation, sleep changes, or loss of interest may make it harder to change substance use. Alcohol or drug use may also complicate emotional symptoms, relationships, routines, and responsibilities. A thoughtful assessment can consider both areas rather than treating them as unrelated concerns.
