Alcohol/Substance Abuse
Alcohol and substance abuse are serious mental health conditions that can have a profound impact on an individual's life, relationships, and overall well-being. Substance abuse is characterized by the continued use of drugs or alcohol despite negative consequences, such as physical, psychological, or social harm. The causes of substance abuse can be complex and can involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Common risk factors include a family history of addiction, trauma, and mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.
