Prevalence of Mental Health Disorders
Mental health disorders are pervasive in the United States. According to the 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 23.1% of all adults in the United States met the criteria for a mental health disorder in the last year alone.1
However, these numbers are even higher for people with substance use disorders. Of people who have a substance use disorder, 37.9% had a co-occurring mental health disorder, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.2
Researchers believe there are two main reasons why rates of mental health problems are even higher among people who live with addiction: first, many people may self-medicate their symptoms of mental illness with alcohol or drugs. Second, people can often develop mental health disorders such as depression or anxiety because of their substance use disorder.
