Types of disorders that can co-occur with addiction include:
Depression
Anxiety
Grief
Borderline personality disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Eating disorders
Schizophrenia
Bipolar disorder
Only a mental health professional can diagnose a mental health or substance use disorder.
Signs of having co-occurring disorders include:
Sudden behavior changes
Difficulty managing daily tasks
Engagement in risky behaviors
