People who have 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. This can be difficult to asses and treat, but if either are left untreated both might become more damaging for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences.
