Mood Disorders

Many individuals who struggle with drug or alcohol abuse actually have underlying factors such as mood disorders. These disorders are often major barriers to any treatment the abuser may seek in their break from addiction. For example, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder are among two conditions which create recovery obstacles. These emotional states often bring sufferers to substance abuse, bringing temporary relief to the users. However, mood disorders can change through substance abuse; often, the mood disorder becomes exacerbated, and the user feels worse.
