Depression and addiction often go hand-in-hand. Though they aren’t exclusively correlated, experiencing one could lead to the development of the other, resulting in a dual diagnosis.

Navigating the Cycle of Depression and Addiction
Depression is a mental health disorder that affects how people feel and think. It causes persistent sadness, loneliness, and hopelessness and can result in losing interest in activities, relationships, school, and work. These feelings can last for weeks or months. People with depression may experience one or more recurring depressive episodes. Sometimes, depressive episodes can be so bad that they lead to individuals trying to cope with symptoms by using substances like alcohol or drugs.
Conversely, addiction can lead to an individual developing depression. Addiction is a disease that causes people to crave and seek out different things they are addicted to, such as alcohol and drugs. Depending on the addictive substance, side effects could include depression.
Both addiction and depression can make an individual experience similar symptoms, such as:
- Isolation from family and friends
- Decreased energy levels and reduced pleasure in things you used to enjoy
- Negative consequences in relationships or finances
- The refusal that there is something wrong
When you experience depression and addiction, going through the cycle of symptoms for both can make it hard to seek help, but you are not alone.
