People who suffer with a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues.

Consequences in these special instances can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death.
