Understanding mental health and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) means knowing how they affect people's lives. Mental health focuses on our emotions, how we feel and think. SUD involves the misuse or dependence on substances such as drugs or alcohol. This may lead to significant impairment in daily functioning and overall health.
