Understanding Mental Health Disorders
The Prevalence of Co-Occurring Disorders
Mental health disorders are conditions that disrupt a person’s mood, thinking, and behavior, affecting their ability to function in daily life. As defined by the World Health Organization, these disorders involve “clinically significant disturbances” in cognition, emotional regulation, or behavior. Different mental health conditions impact individuals in unique ways, making it essential to approach each diagnosis with customized care and therapeutic support.
According to national studies, nearly 45% of Americans with substance use disorders also experience mental health conditions, highlighting the importance of treating both simultaneously. At Headwaters, our skilled clinical team is trained to provide specialized care for common co-occurring conditions, ensuring a cohesive approach to recovery.
Common Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions
Some mental health disorders frequently occurring alongside substance use include:
- Mood Disorders: Conditions like clinical depression and anxiety, which encompass a wide spectrum of emotional experiences, are often found in individuals with substance use disorders.
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Many in addiction treatment have experienced trauma, which can lead to symptoms like dissociation, anxiety, insomnia, and depression.
- Process Addictions: Issues such as gambling, disordered eating, and compulsive shopping often intersect with substance use, amplifying dependency.
- Personality Disorders: Disorders like borderline personality disorder (BPD), narcissistic personality disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
- Attention Disorders: Conditions like ADHD, marked by impulsivity, disorganization, forgetfulness, and attention challenges.
