Description of Other Behaviors
Substance use disorders occur when an individual’s habitual use of alcohol and/or drugs to ease their anxiety or depression causes clinically significant impairment, which can include medical problems, physical or cognitive disabilities, and a failure to meet one’s responsibilities at work, school, or home.
