People who do have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to evaluate and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can be very detrimental for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences.
