Comorbidity & drug abuse a variety of diseases commonly co-occur with drug abuse and addiction (e.g., HIV, hepatitis C, cancer, cardiovascular disease) Drug abuse is a complex brain disease characterized by compulsive, at times uncontrollable drug craving, seeking, and use despite devastating consequences— behaviors that stem from drug-induced changes in brain structure and function. These changes occur in some of the same brain areas that are disrupted in other mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia.
Drug Use and Other Mental Disorders Many people who regularly abuse drugs are also diagnosed with mental disorders and vice versa. persons diagnosed with mood or anxiety disorders, antisocial syndrome (antisocial personality or conduct disorder) are about twice as likely to suffer also from a drug use disorder (abuse or dependence) compared with respondents in general. persons diagnosed with drug disorders are roughly twice as likely to suffer also from mood and anxiety disorders

Smoking & mental illness more than 40 percent of the cigarettes smoked in this country are smoked by individuals with a psychiatric disorder, such as major depressive disorder, alcoholism, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder. smoking by patients with mental illness contributes greatly to their increased morbidity and mortality.
