Nearly a quarter of American adults in 2020 had a form of mental illness, with mood and anxiety disorders being some of the most common. Depression and addiction commonly co-occur, and each condition can complicate the other. The Boca Recovery Center has created a comprehensive depression and addiction resource guide: DEPRESSION & ADDICTION: SIGNS, SYMPTOMS & TREATMENT to spread awareness, understanding, and treatment options.

An unfortunate consequence of the pandemic and other recent social & economic stressors is the severe affect on psychological well-being. Mental health problems are worsening and addictive behaviors are escalating. Statistics are showing a spike specifically in problem gambling. Dismally, access to mental health treatment has been curtailed. The GAMBLING ADDICTION HELP GUIDE may be used as a starting point to provide help to those who are seeking information about gambling problems. The guide discusses gambling addiction signs and symptoms and it also includes a list of references to state-approved programs, in addition to other local options. |
