People who suffer with 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 diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both might become more problematic for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences.
