It’s hard being different when the whole world of school, work and play is designed for how ‘normal’ people’s brains work; and when parents, teachers, friends and colleagues don’t get that what’s easy and normal for them isn’t just as easy for you. Living with this is stressful, and can lead to low self-esteem, social isolation, anxiety and depression

Many people living with a mental health issue also have problems with alcohol and other drug (AOD) use - and many people who use alcohol and other drugs may have mental health issues. People with a co-occurring AOD and mental health problem may have worse impairment, a more trying course of illness and are more difficult to treat than people with a singular problem. Research shows people with a dual diagnosis may also have poorer treatment outcomes.
