[QUOTE="tessaturtle, post: 124353, member: 3510"] I agree with MWM also. In my line of work, the majority of parents on our cases who have a problem with substance abuse, end up being diagnosed as BiPolar. They are just self-medicating either because they don't take the medication they are prescribed or because they hadn't ever been diagnosed and didn't know they had a mental illness. Its sad really, because addiction is such a tough road to get off of, but its made even more difficult if you have an underlying mood disorder or mental illness that you are used to self medicating.
