I also wanted to add that it is true that drug use and mental illness seem to go hand in hand with each other. Of course this is not true with all individuals. However, it is my opinion that the drug use is a means to self-medicate. What is hard to determine is what causes what. Did the individual use drugs which triggered the mental illness? Or did the individual start using drugs to help with the symptoms experiences because of the mental illness? Hard to say. And of course, there are those that have mental illness and don’t use drugs and visa versa.
