Can Drugs Lead To Mental Health Disorders?

Mental health disorders and substance abuse are complexly intertwined. Both can complicate the other, and each can be a risk factor for each other as well.

In short, substance abuse can cause symptoms of a mental health disorder and even cause mental health issues to develop as a result of compulsive drug use.

A substance use disorder can increase the odds for a concurrent mental illness and cause one to form, especially in someone who already has additional risk factors or vulnerabilities for a mental health disorder. For example, studies show that marijuana use can be a potential risk factor for psychosis and the onset of schizophrenia in people who are already predisposed for the disorders.

Using drugs or alcohol regularly can make changes to the chemical makeup of your brain, changing the pathways to pleasure and reward. This can make it harder to feel happy without psychoactive substances, as your brain will no longer function the same way without them. Anxiety and depression are common side effects of drug and alcohol withdrawal.

The younger age at which you start using drugs or alcohol, the more likely you are to also develop a mental health and/or substance use disorder as well. Essentially, this early use can make changes to your brain before it is fully developed. This is especially true when additional overlapping risk factors, such as genetic vulnerabilities, are also present.
