Understanding depression and substance use together

Depression and substance use can overlap in different ways. A person may use alcohol or drugs while trying to cope with sadness, low motivation, isolation, or other difficult experiences. Substance use can also complicate emotional health, routines, relationships, and daily responsibilities. Each person’s situation deserves an individual assessment rather than an assumption about which concern came first.
