So most of us have mental health issues... * 3
    #22489477 - 11/07/15 07:58 AM (8 years, 2 months ago)

I was reading up about the link between mental health and substance abuse. It's clear to everyone that there is an obvious link, but the numbers kinda shocked me

Mental health disorder patient are responsible for the comsumption of:

- 38% of alcohol
- 44% of cocaine
- 40% of cigarettes

People who have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder a some point in their lives are responsible for the consumption of:

- 69% of alcohol
- 84% of cocaine
- 68% of cigarettes

Essentially its safe to say that if you are a cocaine addict, you have or had mental health issues. So if you snort regularly and think you have good mental health, you are most likely wrong.

The alcohol numbers are surprising to me given that a huge percentage of the population drink. The majority of them represent 30%.... Essentially alcohol profits come mostly from people with mental health.

Thoughts?

I stopped consuming those three things. Does that mean I am cured?

I think it's less the substance and more the environment. It's a crazy world, not surprising that most of us catch the disease.

mental health issues would assume you do illogical things
if we considered things like OCD, diet and aspiration everyone would be mentally ill lol

this study shows me that the first group is being treated for mental health disorders,

the second group hasn't been helped, or doesn't believe in conventional psychiatric treatment to some extent.

I once read that it's the people that say they have never been, or never will be crazy, that you have to actually worry about.

Link?  It's an interesting subject.  Is addiction considered a mental health issue?  Alcoholism?

I never thought it was before, then I tried to stop drinking.  It's like theres a little man in there telling me to go buy booze.  It's clear to me now that it is a disease.

Cigarettes too.  It's not like I have even tried to quit, but it makes sense that  people with mental health issues consume so many cigs.  It is a way to ground yourself and take you out of your head.

Alcoholism is a spiritual disease. Because if it was physical, surely doctors and modern science could cure it. Funny how when you work 12 simple steps and place your trust into a higher power of your own understanding, how you can stay sober and get blessings in life.

Alcoholism is a misanthropic disease.

Alcoholism is an unforgiving, perhaps un-reverting change in brain chemistry.

I kind of knew I was going to struggle with drugs ever since I could grasp the concept of a "drug".
I always knew I was fucked from the start :lol:

Definitely a correlation between mental health status and substance use/abuse

I have never tried cocaine or smoked a cigarette nor do I want to for either of those things. I do like the occasional hard cider from time to time but I don't get drunk because I don't enjoy it. However I do love my grass. :shrug:
Also this one time I got addicted to hydrocodone(1-2 pills almost nightly, legit prescription though). I had no idea addiction to it was possible.

I'll spare the trite recounting of examples of how fucked up the world is today and just say that people who don't need to drink or do drugs in response to life today are the fucked up ones, and they make these statistics up to make us feel even worse.

that can go for any euphoric substance though.


how do you measure who consumes x amount of a drug? none of this adds up.

Alcohol is an interesting one though because it has been used for SO long by humans and animals alike. I think there have been points in history in many different cultures where it was very commonplace to drink the amount of alcohol that most people today would consider alcoholism. Also different people from different parts of the world have different tolerances to it.

Not trying to argue for alcoholism, but I just find it interesting.
