When the depression stays and addiction develops, there's a co-occurring disorder. Co-occurring disorders aren't limited to depression and addiction, but can be any combination of mental health issues.
Grieving a loss can feel like you're walking through a fog, with emotions hitting you from all sides. When these feelings become overwhelming, some people turn to substances like drugs or alcohol to cope, which can spiral into addiction. In this episode of Futures Recovery Healthcare, the team dives into the intricate relationship between grief and addiction.
They break down the stages of grief, discuss the signs that someone might be struggling, and stress the importance of seeking professional help when the burden becomes too heavy to bear. The conversation also touches on how treating both grief and addiction simultaneously using evidence-based therapies can pave the way for lasting recovery.
If you or someone you know is grappling with loss and considering unhealthy coping mechanisms, this episode offers a compassionate guide to understanding and managing these co-occurring challenges.
