Alcohol and other drug misuse can impact on mental health and likewise problems with mental health can lead to alcohol or other drug misuse. This can become problematic when:

• a person becomes dependent upon or addicted to them;
• a person requires them to function;
• they impact negatively upon a person’s relationship, work or family life.

If you are concerned about your use of alcohol or other drugs or someone else’s use, talk to your GP or a counsellor.
