Mental health and substance abuse disorders are chronic, progressive, and incurable conditions that can hurt your personal relationships, career, and physical and emotional health. Mental health disorders can cause disabling symptoms that make it difficult, if not impossible, to regulate and control your emotions. Holistic recovery can help ease the process, such as art therapy and music therapy.

Some mental health disorders also increase your chances of attempting suicide, isolating yourself from others, and experiencing instability. Substance abuse disorders can likewise cause physical, emotional, and financial harm. The long-term effects of substance use can alter the way the brain responds to life. Substance use at an early age can lead to changes in the development of regions of the brain responsible for emotional reasoning, processing, and more. Addiction treatment may offer standard therapies to promote optimal health.
