What I can control and what I can't

A substance use disorder (SUD) is a condition in which the use of one or more substances leads to clinically and functionally significant impairment or distress. This includes, but is not limited to, issues with alcohol, illegal drugs, and prescription drugs. Substance use disorders can range from mild to severe and can have negative impacts on a person's health, relationships, and daily functioning. Treatment for SUD often includes behavioral therapy, medication, and support from family and friends.

What is mental health? 🧠

Mental health refers to a person's overall emotional and psychological well-being. It encompasses a range of factors that impact an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behavior, including:

Cognitive health (thinking patterns, decision-making)
Emotional health (moods, stress management)
Behavioral health (impulsiveness, aggression)
Psychological health (self-esteem, resilience)
Good mental health is characterized by stability, resilience, and the ability to manage stress and navigate life's challenges.

Mental health can be impacted by various factors, including genetics, life experiences, and environmental stressors. Mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, can disrupt a person's overall mental health and impact their ability to function in daily life.

It's important to seek help from a mental health professional if you or someone you know may be experiencing symptoms of a mental health disorder.
