When mental health issues and substance use intersect, it can complicate treatment and recovery, often leading to conditions like addiction, depression, or anxiety. It’s important to recognize that mental health and substance use are interconnected and require understanding, support, and appropriate care for healthy well-being. Seeking help from professionals can enable better management and recovery for those affected.
